"Just as in any other conversation in the Spirit, political conversations will help them not only know their dialogue partners but also discern where the Spirit is leading them. It is important to note that “the aim of spiritual conversation is to create an atmosphere of trust and welcome, so that people can express themselves more freely. This helps them to take seriously what happens within them as they listen to others and speak. Ultimately, this interior attentiveness makes us more aware of the presence and participation of the Holy Spirit in the process of sharing and discernment....

This conversation will be an important first step in understanding where the other is coming from and why they hold certain political beliefs or support or detest certain politicians. It is tempting to block or unfollow on social media, or to ignore those who don’t share our politics or whose political beliefs we find particularly abhorrent. But synodality challenges us all to “remain in the relationship” and “to open ourselves to a genuine relational conversion.”

Participants of political conversations must be faithful to the Spirit instead of prioritizing the defense of their political idols.

Theo 114.03i "Let the Little Children Come to Me": Teaching Catechism to Urban Poor Children

Raphael Augustine L. Yabut, Ph.D.
Section O: T 3:00-6:30pm & F 4:00-8:00pm K-304
*FULLY ONSITE with community engagement on Fridays

This service-learning course is an introduction to teaching the catechism to children in urban poor communities. Methods and concepts from developmental psychology, child education, and theology are used to discuss the practice of teaching the faith. The primary goal of the course is for students to explain the key pedagogical, psychological and catechetical concepts and apply these in designing and implementing a catechetical ground plan. Students will learn by doing – as the course progresses, students will be given opportunities to construct the ground plan. The course draws inspiration from “Let the little children come to me…” (Matthew 9:14).

This Palm Sunday, we’re invited to see disruption not as despair, but as a call for courage and discernment in the midst of uncertainty. As your teachers in DLQ 10 (Discerning Life Questions), we offer these points to invite you to reflect with us in noticing where the Spirit
might be guiding us. The disruptions we face are not only challenges but also opportunities—opportunities to practice courage, to act in ways that reflect our deepest values, and to contribute to the common good rather than simply reacting from our immediate anxieties and fear.
