Catechesis will always draw its content from the living source of the word of God transmitted in Tradition and the Scriptures, for Sacred Tradition and sacred Scripture ,make up a single sacred deposit of the word of God, which is entrusted to the Church” (Catechesi Tradendae 27)
Jesus Christ is the centre & source of catechesis for in Him is the fullness of all revelation. Why?
(a) God has revealed Himself through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit
(b) Jesus Christ is the summit of the Gospel as all peoples receive salvation through His death & resurrection on the cross
(c) Jesus Himself teaches love as the foundation of Christian living. Every Christian should live loving God and one another.
(cf. GDC, no.94)
