WSC Q71-72-b: Soul-Shrinking Lust

The idea of imparting a body of truth (rudiments of the faith) is found repeatedly in scripture under many different terms and descriptions.

Our Lord has called us to catechise in His church… to teach disciples the basics of the faith. Make the most of this instruction: memorise your Catechism, listen to the messages, and pray for the Spirit to work.
