The proposal for a project inspired by the Gospel of life can only be accomplished through communication and offer a word of testimony ...
"To educate today is courage," and you can do it "and proposed combining freedom, speech and testimony, teaching and life. " This exhortation and 'cross reflections' offered by the Msgr. Marian Crusade, Secretary General of the CEI, this morning talking to the assistants of the associations and youth movements gathered in Rome today for the Workshop on Pastoral Guidelines 2010-2020 "Educating for the good life of the Gospel."

The educational task - said Msgr. Crusade - see approach "freedom and the proposal" requires the educator and the ability "to carry the burden of education, but without sacrificing freedom to offer a vision of life, to trigger a decision to certify a sense of being in this world. " "Freedom - he added the secretary of the CEI - does not fire in a seemingly endless void of limitless possibilities of paths, choices and opportunities, but within a proposal already proven and traveled educator supply and so committed and convincing '.
The proposed project also inspired by the Gospel of life "can only be accomplished through the provision of a word offer of a witness" because - said Msgr. Crusade - 'educational role in the effectiveness of the word must be vetted by the gesture that materializes and gives the eloquence of the facts, the only one to be really intelligible and credible. " Hence the last "pair", that "between teaching and discipline" against any possible resulting intellectual. "
"The boys - said Msgr. Crusade - before they grow up listening to words and concepts, doing, living, practicing, because education is achieved when it becomes a journey of the young subject. But why should this happen it is necessary that the choices, beliefs, values, virtues become flesh and blood in the normal practice of the young. "
It is not an "education reduced to mere verbiage. It would be an incomplete education, lack of education. In our youth ministry, until we reduce everything to preach (in the pejorative sense of the term and obviously not as a proclamation of the Word), until we reduce everything to the word that does not match practice, our ministry does nothing if not a friendly get together, a good company , some charitable work.
