Mystagogical Catechesis: A Theological Blueprint for Faith Formation in a Digitalized World

This article explores mystagogy as a theologically rich model for faith formation. Rooted in early Christian practice and revived through Vatican II and Karl Rahner’s insights, mystagogy is re-examined here in light of today’s digital context. The study introduces the concept of digital mystagogy, proposing that virtual tools such as apps, media platforms, and immersive technologies can effectively support spiritual growth. Without replacing sacramental life, digital mystagogy offers a relevant and creative approach for guiding believers into deeper engagement with the mystery of faith.

Abstract

This article explores mystagogy as a theologically rich model for faith formation. Rooted in early Christian practice and revived through Vatican II and Karl Rahner’s insights, mystagogy is re-examined here in light of today’s digital context. The study introduces the concept of digital mystagogy, proposing that virtual tools such as apps, media platforms, and immersive technologies can effectively support spiritual growth. Without replacing sacramental life, digital mystagogy offers a relevant and creative approach for guiding believers into deeper engagement with the mystery of faith.
