“
For this reason, Catholic educators need a ‘formation of the heart’: they need to be led to that encounter with God in Christ which awakens their love and opens their spirits to others, so that their educational commitment becomes a consequence deriving from their faith, a faith which becomes active through love…apart from their theological formation, educators need also to cultivate their spiritual formation in order to develop their relationship with Jesus Christ. - Congregation for Catholic Education
