Abstract

Under the influence of a changing cultural mentality, divorce and cohabitation have become an acceptable and common matter for most Catholics (not only) in Slovakia. The experience gained through the pastoral care of the divorced and remarried reveals, in a similar way as the exhortation Amoris Laetitia, that many Catholics who ask for the sacrament of marriage have not been sufficiently evangelized and catechized. It is a challenge inviting us not only to further development of the pastoral care of the divorced but also to the innovation of pastoral care of marriage and the family, especially in terms of filling the gap of the missing evangelization of the couples asking for marriage and the overall accompaniment of young spouses taking the form of mystagogical catechesis and spiritual direction. We provide several basic impulses for creating a program of evangelization and mystagogical catechesis as a stimulus for the creativity of parish and diocesan communities that can best realize a living communion where the faith is lived and transmitted as part of a particular, everyday lifestyle.
