As a
catechist, you help your students to develop their faith and relationship with
God. But what about your own
relationship with God? How would
you describe your relationship with God right now? Do you feel close to God or rather distant? Do you spend time with God regularly or
are your visits with God sporadic and whimsical? What do you want your relationship with God to be like?
One
suggestion for fostering your relationship with God is to go on a God
date. When a man and a woman want
to get to know one another better, they go on dates. On those dates, they have fun together and talk about
themselves so that they can learn more about each other. You can do the same thing with God
dates. It is only when you spend
time with God that you are able to really get to know God and develop an
intimate relationship with God.
