Then, this good friend told me half jokingly, half seriously: <em>\"Who would have thought that I, who a few years ago was considered an unbeliever, would be explaining to my students what a vocation is, who the apostles were or what a publican was.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a result of this conversation and the <em>Letter to artists<\/em> from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnesmag.com\/en\/news\/marches-remembering-st-john-paul-ii\/\">John Paul II<\/a>I realized that my work as a religion teacher in the center where I work should not be limited to offering students the knowledge of Christian doctrine. I also had to help them discover the beauty of faith through art and the different subjects that, in one way or another, by speaking to them about man, about history, speak to them of an essential element in the configuration of their lives, as is the religious fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The religious fact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to teachers of other subjects, showing the religious fact from different aspects helps students to understand that the novel of their lives takes place in a cultural universe that can only be understood from Christian roots. From the beautiful churches that populate their landscapes, the festivals celebrated in their towns and cities, to the names that dress their streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recognizing oneself as part of a culture helps us to want to know more about its origins and even to propose to those new members of other societies with different cultures that, in a frank and close dialogue, they express their doubts, fears and fears. <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Inquietud\">concerns<\/a>. Dialogue that, of course, works in both directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making students of religion understand that the Christian faith is a faith that through the centuries has become a culture, can help them discover with new eyes that face so often hidden from their eyes and that appears in their longing for fullness. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Habl\u00e1bamos ya hace a\u00f1os un profesor de historia del arte y yo respecto a la magn\u00edfica y c\u00e9lebre obra de Caravaggio La vocaci\u00f3n de San Mateo, que con motivo de un viaje de fin de curso hab\u00edamos podido contemplar serenamente.
