Description: Written with gratitude for all educators, Pope Francis offers deep understanding and challenge in these powerful reflections for successful catechesis, teaching, and education. The writings express how education requires the development of profound empathy and an active spirituality, as well as clear understanding of its humanizing force and the dignity of the human person. The included texts have been chosen from homilies and workshops by then Archbishop Bergoglio to the catechists of Buenos Aires. --Provided by publisher.
