P.2

Motivations are to be purified so that a college

seminarian may learn to work for service,
which is Christ-like, rather than for self-serving
gains. (College,262) (PDV,57)
- He develops personal charisms and learns to
work in teams. (College,266)

Obedience and
Service
Go therefore and

He gets in touch with a wide range of human

experiences that will lead him to deep insights
into the questions and struggles of fellow
Filipinos. In the process, he can also grow in
awareness of his own humanity. (College,258)
He learns to relate from the heart, remaining in
touch with emotions that human situations
elicit from him. (College,259)

Humility and
Perseverance

Raise his consciousness about the realities of

injustice, cultural disparities, social inequalities,
economic imbalances, political manipulations
and structures of sin. (College,260)
He learns to discover the presence of the Spirit
in experiences and situations. To bring to the
pastoral area the disciplined mind that can
analyze and respond to situations.
His
response to the whole program can serve as a
mirror of his synthesis of the different aspects
of his formation. (College,268)

Hope and
Commitment

S.Y. A seminarian strengthens his self-identity in

order to crystallize his vocation and mission.
This program gives him ample time for
intensive self-discovery through growth in
service.(College,257)
He looks up to Jesus as a model and guide. He
realizes that we have only one Shepherd whom
we trust and depend on. (Pastoral Formation
of Theology Seminarians,147)
The program should prepare them into
communion with the charity of Christ the Good
Shepherd. (PDV,57)

T.2

The PCPII points to pastors as agents of

renewal, working side by side with other
agents, in the one mission of renewed integral
evangelization towards becoming a Church of
the Poor. This vision Of PCPII, as reiterated by
NPCCR, cannot be ignored in the pastoral
formation of seminarians in the Philippines.
(Theology,151)
P.Y Plunge the seminarians into the heart of world
today, into its joys and hopes, afflictions and
anxieties in order that the seminarians may
take them as their own in the light of the
Gospel. It provides ample opportunities for the
seminarians to understand the dynamics of
culture and society, particularly the
phenomenon of globalization with its
accompanying risks and promises for the
Filipino people. (Theology, 149)
T. 3 Pastoral action and experiences initiate
seminarians to the concrete lives of priests.
They see the human qualities required of good
and zealous leaders. (Theology, 149)

Church of the
Poor

T. 4 Seminarians realize the depths of intimacy with

God in prayer required of true servants. They
understand the intellectual agility required of
pastors facing complex situations. Pastoral
formation unifies priestly formation because it
leads the seminarians to Jesus, the Good
Shepherd, to the Church which is His Body, to
the world and history where His Spirit blows
and to the ministry that is His gift. (Theology,
149)
