“The starting point for enhancing the spiritual development of our student development staff is our own deep soul work, reflection on our own life and what gives it meaning.” I found the same point made in all three articles this week. You’ll agree with me that it must be important.
Its importance is highly significant because words are lost and forgotten, but our actions go straight to the heart. As Francis of Assissi posited, “Preach the Gospel and if necessary, use words.” If we can act in a loving, caring and Christian-like manner with our students, we will build trust, gain their confidence. This way, students will get to know and trust their leaders. Only then will they be open to them and be lead by them. They will receive positive influences that will possible guide their lives even after their graduation or transfer to other schools

Protas, there is no doubt that this week's reading teaches us a great lesson. The authors did not mince words by admonishing us how to display religio-spirituality. It does not matter whether you are a pastor or not, I think the articles made it crystal clear that all of us have unique roles to play in producing good future leaders in our educational institutions.
ReplyDeleteSlyvester I see what you are saying in your reflection is that action speaks louder than word, Question: Which one has to star words or actiom?
