catechism, Catechismo.

Meaning

The father directs the son back to catechetical learning so that he may share in divine grace and blessing. The word points to something the addressee is assumed already to know. No catechetical passage is actually supplied between this sentence and the next paternal warning. The reference should therefore remain a reference, not become an invitation to insert a reconstructed doctrinal lesson or an imagined missing speech.
