Pastoral Formation

• What did we learn?
• We learned that pastoral formation involves more
  than just theory. It involves actively
  participating in apostolics.
• It is connected to the other three pillars. It
  expresses the other three pillars in practice.
• It is not always easy.

13

• The whole formation imparted to candidates for
  the priesthood aims at preparing them to enter
  into communion with the charity of Christ the
  Good Shepherd. Hence, their formation in its
  different aspects must have a fundamentally
  pastoral character

• This sacramental character needs to be completed
  by the personal and pastoral formation of the
  priest, who appropriates the mind of Christ and
  effectively communicates the mysteries of faith
  through his human personality as a bridge,
  through his personal witness of faith rooted in
  his spiritual life, and through his knowledge of
  faith. These elements of formation converge in
  pastoral formation.
