Evangelization and Education: A Joint Journey to Transform the World
Audience with the Brothers of the Christian Schools

The missions of education and evangelizing are deeply intertwined, forming a fundamental pillar for society’s transformation. Pope Leo XIV underlines the importance of education that brings the Gospel message to every corner.
In an increasingly fragmented world, education and evangelization are key tools for building bridges and fostering a sense of community based on love and solidarity. The Pope has insisted on several occasions that education is not only an academic act, but also a spiritual process in which fundamental values for personal and community growth are transmitted.

Educating to Evangelize
The Pope’s vision poses a challenge to all educational institutions, especially those of Christian inspiration: it is not enough to form brilliant minds, but also generous and committed hearts. Education, according to the Pontiff, must be imbued with evangelical values that inspire young people to build a more just and caring world.
To this end, Pope Leo XIV emphasizes the need for constant dialogue between faith and reason, promoting a holistic approach that encompasses all dimensions of the human being. In this context, educators become true witnesses of faith, capable of instilling in their students the desire to serve and transform their environment.

Evangelizing through Education
Similarly, evangelization finds in education a privileged vehicle for reaching hearts. It is not only about transmitting knowledge about the faith, but also about living it in every educational act. The Pope invites educators to be models of Christian life, demonstrating by their example the values they preach.
The mission of evangelizing through education thus becomes an opportunity to renew society from its foundations, forming future generations in love of neighbor and social commitment. According to the Holy Father, this commitment is not exclusive to Catholic schools, but a task open to the entire educational community.
A Commitment for the Future
Pope Leo XIV’s call resonates like an echo of hope for educators around the world: evangelizing by educating, and educating by evangelizing is a path that transforms lives and sows seeds of peace and justice. In every classroom, in every encounter, educators have the opportunity to build a legacy that transcends generations, always guided by the light of the Gospel.
