Did you learn more than you taught<\/span><span lang=\"en\">? <\/span><span lang=\"en\">It is true that discouragement\u00a0sometimes presented itself; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">also signs of the cross became pronounced. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">But how much did you grow! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">How many signs of the proximity of God! <\/span><span lang=\"en\">How many experiences of faith. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">Catechesis is a path, a discipleship, a meeting that lasts through the years. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">But the Lord is never outdone in generosity. <\/span><span lang=\"en\">How grace!!!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">Your yes\u00a0helped the Church be Evangelizing; <\/span><span lang=\"en\">to be more Church.
