In Adult Faith Formation we want “to encourage a living, explicit and fruitful profession of faith” (General Directory for Catechesis, 66).  As stated in Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us, living faith involves fully participating in Sunday Mass, reading of Scripture, being involved in the parish community, prayer, works of service and loving our neighbors. Explicit faith is being in a personal relationship with Jesus, a growing in love with Jesus.  Fruitful profession of faith results in experiencing the love of Jesus in a personal relationship and as a result of it, all our actions become fruitful whether it is in a soup kitchen or volunteering in any parish activity that benefits the whole parish community (50-63).
