The whole man must be the holy man, the deprivations of evil made good, the darkness of sin enlightened, the faculties and powers of mind and body integrated and controlled by the will, the whole fired by the flame of charity. This is God's will for each of us, the work which never ceases and at which we must hammer day by day. Everyone concerned with the religious education of children must have these considerations in mind. But who are they? All too often the phrase is taken in tthe narrow sense of the school teacher, or the priest who teaches the catechism class. ‘They’ will prepare him for his first Confession, his first Holy Communion, and in due time for Confirmation. The responsibility is ‘theirs’. There are signs that this attitude is beginning to change, but do we as teachers relize sufficiently the delicate balance between the contributions of home, church and school?
