Piyesta ni SAN PIO X
Patron of Catechists
Agosto 21

​Ania ang mga detalye bahin kaniya ug ang iyang kalabutan sa Catechism:

​1. Kinsa si San Pio X?

Si San Pio X, nga natawo nga Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto niadtong 1835, ang ika-256 nga Pope sa Catholic Church gikan 1903 hangtod 1914. Nailhan siya isip “Pope of the Blessed Sacrament” ug usa ka dakong reformer nga nagdasig sa kabalaan ug mas lawom nga pag-apil sa kinabuhi sa Simbahan.

​2. Unsa ang iyang labing sikat nga motto isip Pope?

Ang iyang papal motto mao ang “Instaurare omnia in Christo” – “To restore all things in Christ.” Kini ang naggiya sa iyang mga reform sa liturgy, catechesis, ug kinabuhi sa Simbahan.

​3. Ngano nga gitawag man si San Pio X nga “Catechism Pope”?

Nakasabot si San Pio X nga ang tinuod nga pagbag-o sa Simbahan magsukad sa tin-aw nga pagtudlo sa pagtuo ngadto sa tanan, ilabina sa mga kabataan. Nagdasig siya og mga catechism classes sa matag parish ug nag-insistir nga ang mga pari ug obispo mogahin og panahon alang sa catechetical instruction.

​4. Unsa nga importanteng catechism ang iyang gipagawas?

Iyang gipadayag ug gipalambo ang Catechism of Christian Doctrine, nga kasagaran gitawag og “Catechism of Saint Pius X.” Gisulat kini sa yano nga question-and-answer format aron dali nga masabtan sa mga ordinaryong tawo, ilabina sa mga kabataan, ang mga kinahanglanong punto sa Catholic faith.

​5. Unsa ang pipila sa mga importanteng gitudlo niining catechism?

Ang Catechism of Saint Pius X naglakip sa:

— Apostles’ Creed (ang atong gituohan)

— Mga Sacramento (sa unsa nga paagi madawat nato ang grasya)

— Ten Commandments (sa unsa nga paagi kita magkinabuhi isip mga Christian)

— Pag-ampo, ilabina ang Our Father. Mubo ra kini, tin-aw, ug direkta, aron dali nga masag-ulo ug mapraktis.

​6. Unsa ang iyang papel sa pagpalambo sa Eucharist?

Gidasig ni San Pio X ang kanunay nga pagdawat sa Communion ug gipaubsan ang edad alang sa First Holy Communion ngadto sa age of reason (mga 7 anyos). Kini nakatabang sa mga kabataan nga magdako sa gugma alang kang Jesus sa Eucharist sukad sa ilang sayong pangedaron.

​7. Unsa nga legacy ang gibilin ni San Pio X alang sa catechism karon?

Ang iyang legacy usa ka pahinumdom nga ang tin-aw ug yano nga pagtudlo sa pagtuo mahinungdanon alang sa kinabuhi sa Simbahan. Pagagiyahan sa pagseguro nga ang matag katoliko, ilabina ang mga kabataan, maayong nakakat-on sa catechism, iyang gilig-on ang pundasyon sa Christian life ug kabalaan.

​PAGSUMADA:

— Si San Pio X giila isip Pope of the Catechism ug sa Eucharist. Iyang gitudlo nga ang pagbag-o sa Simbahan nagdepende sa pagkahibalo, paghigugma, ug pagkinabuhi sa mga kamatuoran sa pagtuo — magsugod sa mga kabataan, pamilya, ug mga parokya.

​ANG CATECHISM KINAHANGLAN MAGSUGOD SA PANIMALAY.
