Sažetak

The opening theme of the article is the worldwide urgency of the new evangelisation and the accompanying need for the all‑ encompassing inter‑ ecclesial cooperation. The Neo‑ Catechumenal Way contributes greatly to the new evangelization, especially by announcing the kerygma – the Gospel of God’s love – to all those who are distant from the Church or have never met Jesus Christ. By being active in a concrete parish community, the Neo‑ Catechumenal Way awakens the missionary zeal and underlines the fundamental importance of both the Word of God and the Holy Scripture for Christian life and testimony for all the parishioners. It also deepens awareness of the need forconscious and active participation of all faithful in liturgy and the mission of the Church. Thus, through the Neo‑ Catechumenal Way being at the service of the bishop as one of the forms of diocesan implementation of Christian initiation and of ongoing education in faith, the demands of the Second Vatican Council are brought to and realized at the parish level. This is especially seen in: renewal of liturgy, evangelisation (catechisation), the central importance of the Word of God, active participation of the lay faithful in the mission of the Church, ecumenism and inter‑religious dialogue, education of families and youth, catechumenate... The Neo‑ Catechumenal Way’s contribution, as the author highlights, is not accomplished free of prejudice and difficulties. However,human limits and fragility are not an obstacle to this action inspired by the Holy Spirit as a way to help the Church and the world of today.
