Catechism, Theology and Spirituality: Three in One / Giáolý, thần học, và linh...

Giáolý, thần học, và linh đạo: mình tuy một là ba, tuy ba là một

Catechism serves as a gateway into our faith. However, theologically, our faith necesitates constantly seeking understanding. Such as understanding entailshuman experience that is ignited by the innate "dis-ease" or restlessness, which lies at the heart of spirituality. Catechism without theology and spirituality remains lifeless words with their meaning unexplored; theology without catehism and spirituality abstract sturcture umpracticed, umlived; spirituality without catecjism and theology spirit with neither flesh nor direction. Thus, "Catechism, Theology and Spirituality: Three im One" presents an integrated and wholesome approach to faith well-communicated, well-meaning, and well-lived.
