The desire of Catholics to live faithfully, the vocation to the Christian life in the world necessitates nourishment through pastoral care, which, in turn, enriches and strengthens various elements of Christian spirituality significant to their daily life. The idea of spiritual development calls for the varied efforts of the pastoral team. Indeed, to perceive pastoral ministry from the perspective of God's salvific plan and readiness for reconciliation is a great challenge. Efforts at spiritual education can lead to a greater understanding of the manner in which Jesus is working with individuals and how these individuals can become God's instruments. As a result, people become more committed to the larger society and, at the same time, develop their spirituality. Therefore, my research on the educational perspective of the pastoral community suggests an emphasis on the spiritual function of many activities related to the teaching and learning process of the basic elements of the Christian life. This process promotes personal and social development, thereby fostering positive, spiritual, and theological attitudes toward a virtuous life. The intended effect of spiritual education in a pastoral context is to deepen the relationship between the pastoral team and the members of a parish so that all are able to carry out their pastoral duties and obligations.
