Reciprocally, they themselves are open to being evangelized. This conviction plays a dominant role in the formation of the Brothers as well as in the choice of the assignments for which they will be prepared. 15a. By its organizational structure and the climate that it engenders, the Christian school makes catechesis possible. This catechesis should be lively, centered on the person of the student, in touch with life as it is, based on Scripture and the liturgy, attentive to the teaching of the Church, and concerned with an integral presentation of the Christian message. In the conviction that it is their mission to bring the baptized to live as true Christians, the Brothers provide opportunities for their students to encounter God more frequently They lead them along the way as they learn to pray, as they become spiritually enriched, as they receive the sacraments and take advantage of the many opportunities offered to be of service to others.
Catechesis is above all a form of witness.
It springs from the depth of a community of faith that brings together Christians within whose hearts d wells the Holy Spirit, the teacher of all truth. The Brothers also take part in the pastoral program of the local church, either as catechists themselves or as teachers or leaders of their fellow Christians who undertake the work of catechesis. In countries that are non-Christian or markedly pluralistic, where it is very difficult or impossible to provide catechesis in the schools, the Brothers seek new ways of evangelizing. To open young people to life, to a sense of their responsibilities, to knowledge and to love, is already a way of accomplishing God's work since his Kingdom is built both by the activity of the Church and by work in the world.
