The Risk of Education

Damian Bacich joins Giuliana on the podcast to discuss education. What does it mean that education is introducing someone to reality, and not just teaching information? What can we do when someone rejects or refuses the truth that we offer? Have we learned something from the pandemic that can help us take the risk of education in a more human way? // Our weekly challenge is to reflect on your day using the Examen (an overview can be found here: https://www.ignatianspirituality.com/examen-prayer-card/). And our media recommendation is the poem Hope by Alexis Valdés, which is included in Pope Francis’ book Let Us Dream. // We’d love to hear from you! Write to us at [email protected] or find us on Instagram at @pilgrimsoulpodcast. We’re happy to pass a message on to Damian. // Other resources we mention: - Luigi Giussani’s book The Risk of Education - St. John Paul II’s encyclical Ex Corde Ecclesiae - The life of Saint John Henry Newman - Pope Francis’ address to students and teachers on May 10, 2014 // Our theme music is Nich Lampson’s “Dolphin Kicks.”
