CONTEXT is key not only
to EMPATHY but also to
student ENGAGEMENT.
Only when we know our
students’ concerns and

 “SOUND PEDAGOGY

way around.
Avoid jumping into the
BANDWAGON.
Instead, start first with a
solid understanding of
21st-century pedagogy.”

WHAT STUDENTS NEED TO
LEARN AT THIS TIME
 “The young
people in the
Church ‘need
to perceive
that their faith
is relevant.”
ENGAGE
“When students weren’t engaged,
they would drift away.”
 CULTURE OF

ENCOUNTER
 “Our faith is an encounter with Jesus, and
we must do what Jesus does: encounter others.”
EMPATHY
 “This capacity for
EMPATHY leads to a
GENUINE
ENCOUNTER –
we have to progress
toward this culture of
encounter –
in which HEART
SPEAKS TO HEART.”
RELATIONSHIPS
 “Christianity is not only a doctrine,
a way of behaving, a culture.
Yes, it is also these things.
But the core of Christianity is an encounter:
the encounter with Jesus.”

 “We must be BOLD enough to
discover new signs and new
symbols, new flesh to embody and
communicate the word, and different
forms of beauty which are valued in
different cultural settings, including
those unconventional modes of
beauty which may mean little to the
evangelizers, yet prove particularly
attractive for others.”
“Do not be afraid.”
 “Fall in Love,
Stay in Love,
and it will decide
Everything.”
 LET’S APPROACH
EVERYTHING WITH
LOVE.
