The Pope recalled the words of the Spanish bishop Saint Manuel González, who wanted a seminary where the Eucharist would occupy a central role in all aspects: “In the pedagogical order, the most effective stimulus; in the scientist, the first teacher and the first subject; in disciplining the most vigilant inspector; in the ascetic the most vivid model; in the economic the great providence; and in the architectural the cornerstone,” he quoted.
In the pedagogical field, the Pope explained that “Jesus,” our saint tells us, “will make us a pedagogue, patient, severe, sweet or firm as we need in our discernment, because he knows us better than we ourselves, and he waits for us, encourages and sustains us.” in all our walk.”
Regarding the scientific dimension, the Pope highlighted the lesson of humility that can be drawn from the life of Jesus. “We don’t learn things from Jesus, we welcome him, we cling to him, so we can bring him to others,” he said, emphasizing the importance of learning the virtue of Jesus’ humility.
