Spiritual pedagogy implies commitment to create spiritual interests and habits of spiritual exercises and thus enlarge the catholic culture of living the faith in Jesus Christ. Participating actively in the pedagogical process of spiritual activity will develop a practical understanding of theological precepts and, as a result, both pastoral leaders and the faithful will profit from the act of preaching, teaching, and on-going formation. There exists in the human person a capacity of restructuring the method of their thinking and developing a suitable attitude towards spiritual commitments. This spiritual commitment of people who are involved in the field of pastoral care in the name of Jesus Christ, creates an atmosphere in and around them for the process of learning and transformation. Christology remains at the center of catholic spiritual pedagogy and, I would even say that the climax of Christian spiritual pedagogy is Christology.
