Lejsalová, Ivana ; Zimmermannová, Marie (advisor) ; Dřímal, Ludvík (referee)
This work presents and evaluates the programme called Who I am which was published in 2007-2008 in the Brno Diocese's Catechetical Journal. This material offers a one- to two-hour long programme for young people in adolescent age. In this course (9 meetings), young people have an opportunity to consolidate their relationship with God, their faith, attitude to themselves, close relatives and to their life in general. I assess this programme from the point of view of its possible implementation for a distant preparation for marriage in the religion classes in the 8 th and 9 th grade of primary school as well as in the parish catechism. I also compare this programme with the Standards of the Czech Bishop Conference for the Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage, particularly with the part dedicated to a distant preparation for matrimony.

Katecheze jako uvedení do mše : Očima jednoho evangelíka Summary Catechesis as an introduction to the Mass: A Protestant's view In my diploma thesis I address the relationship between catechesis and the Mass, namely how the believers of the Catholic Church are acquainted with what is (or is meant to be) the centerpiece of their religious life. In the first - theoretical - part of the paper I first explain what the Mass is and how it has evolved historically, which gradually leads me to the analysis of its present form and content. I then turn my attention to catechesis, whose historical development I outline as well, and to its place among the various services of the Church. I also mention the close connection between catechesis and liturgy, which both contain a dimension of the other.Another common feature of catechesis and the Mass is that they are both Christocentric, yet at the same time anthropological in their focus on man. In the second part of my thesis I deal with the practical form of introduction to the Mass, which takes place with the help of catechetical aids (catechisms, books or coloring books). I analyze these aids and then conclude with the mention of the liturgical basis of the catechesis of converts and of those who are preparing for their First Holy Communion.
