The author, basing on church documents and theological elaborations, presents challenges for the 21st-century catechist in the context of a changing world and its new (second) evangelization. Modern-day Christians-people who have received the sacrament of Baptism-have departed far from Christ. Hence the need for re-evangelization and re-catechization of nominally believing societies. The purpose of evangelizing catechesis understood in this way is to bring this world back to Christ, to establish relationships with him and to deepen mutual relations: God–human. The material analyzes the shortcomings and errors of the modern catechist. Pastoral suggestions and indications were also given and perspectives for new evangelizers were shown. The church faces a great mission. It is not only the expansion of the Lord's disciples, but also the recovery of the lost who have withdrawn and no longer walk with him (compare John 6:66). The evangelizer, in reality that is constantly secularizing and secularizing, can contrast God’s living Word and his own living testimony. Currently, he has many tools at his disposal to reach the recipients-former disciples who were discouraged by the Church because of its difficult speech (John 6:60), or scandals and abuses of the clergy. The church is determined to constantly reaffirm the irreplaceable role of teachers in its mission. It is also a task for catechists themselves who, identifying with the Teacher of Nazareth, should be aware of the mission entrusted to them by the Church.

Na podstawie dokumentów Kościoła oraz opracowań teologicznych autor ukazuje wyzwania dla katechety-ewangelizatora XXI wieku w kontekście zmieniającego się świata oraz nowej (drugiej) jego ewangelizacji. Współcześni chrześcijanie – ludzie ochrzczeni – daleko odeszli od Chrystusa. Stąd potrzeba reewangelizacji i rekatechizacji nominalnie wierzących społeczeństw. Celem tak rozumianej katechezy ewangelizującej jest doprowadzenie tego świata ponownie do Chrystusa, nawiązanie z Nim więzi i pogłębienie wzajemnych relacji: Bóg – człowiek. W artykule przeanalizowano braki i błędy współczesnego katechety. Podano również propozycje i wskazania pastoralne oraz ukazano perspektywy dla nowych ewangelizatorów. Kościół stoi przed wielką misją. Jest nią nie tylko poszerzanie grona uczniów Pana, ale również odzyskiwanie straconych, którzy „się wycofali i już z Nim nie chodzą” (por. J 6,66). Ewangelizator w nieustannie laicyzującej się i sekularyzującej rzeczywistości może przeciwstawiać żywe Słowo Boga oraz własne żywe świadectwo. Obecnie ma do dyspozycji wiele narzędzi, by dotrzeć do odbiorców – dawnych uczniów, którzy zniechęcili się do Kościoła z racji bądź to jego „trudnej mowy” (J 6,60) bądź też skandali i nadużyć duchowieństwa. Kościół jest zdeterminowany, by wciąż potwierdzać niezastąpioną rolę nauczycieli w jego misji. Jest to również zadanie dla samych katechetów, którzy utożsamiając się z Nauczycielem z Nazaretu, winni być świadomi misji, którą powierzył im Kościół.

Both the form and the content of the Church’s original catechesis, as well as the preachers themselves and their personalities are ancient sources of homilies. The whole Bible is the foundation of both these sources – the homily and the preachers. This is an important point. The homily should be connected with both the Old Testament and the New Testament. The preacher should remind of the evangelical “father of the family”, who draws on his treasury and takes both “old” and “new” things. Hence he should go back to the Christian antiquity to remind the structure of the original homily, to learn about the homily of the beginnings of the Church, and in his preaching take into consideration the themes and contents used by the great preachers of the ancient Church. Without the knowledge of that preaching, without the will to follow those Church personalities, and finally without taking the trouble to constantly climb the ladder of gnosis, moral perfection and spiritual sanctification – there is no preaching God’s word, there is only propagation of one’s own thoughts, of one’s own wisdom. Human wisdom cannot leave ninety-nine listeners gathered at the pulpit for the sake of one sinner, who abandoned going to church a long time ago. Divine wisdom, Christ’s catechetical approach, do not fit this “custom”. Ancient catechesis often follows the footprints of Christ the Teacher, and this is why it is worth studying it and coming back to that practice of preaching the Gospel.

The Author of this article tries to understand Orthodox homilies and transpose them onto a Catholic ground-frame. It shows the structure and content of the Eastern way of speaking in modern time, which remains unchanging and true to the original Apostolic teachings. The Orthodox homily becomes a continuous reminder of Christian kerygma: presents its spiritual soil, Bible roots and ancient origins. The Catholic Church as a visible element of modern world and culture may become an excellent platform to spread in the world the Christian kerygma through an “Eastern” way of expressing the Gospel. In consequence, it may through the traditional character of Orthodox homilies - biblical, apostolic and kerygmatic - help bring a stop to the tendency of watering down the fundamental and common religious truths of original Christianity. Penetrating deeply into the biblical context and not prone to change, the Orthodox homily seems to be a historically tested and efficient way of proclaiming the Word of God in a world of modern laicism.
