This Sunday’s Gospel is Matthew 28;16-20

At that time: The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshipped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’

Directory for Catechesis (2020) Catechesis is an ecclesial act, arising from the missionary mandate of the Lord .(cf Matt 28:19-20) and aimed at making the proclamation of his Passion, death and Resurrection resound in the heart of every person so that his life might be transformed. It is a dynamic and complex reality at the service of the Word of God, it is accompaniment, education, and formation in the faith and for the faith, an introduction to the celebration of the Mystery, illumination and interpretation of human life and history” (DC#55).
