Espiritualidade franciscana hospitaleira

: uma chave que abre horizontes na Educação Moral e Religiosa Católica

Abstract

This Report intends to describe the Supervised Teaching Practice (ESP) within the Master's Degree in Religious Sciences, which for me was an opportunity for discovery and learning in my professional career. During this internship, I became aware once again that, without doubt, the cultural contexts where we are born and grow influence our behavior and that the School is also an institution of transmission and construction of culture. This is how this Report begins, making a distinction between cultures, and culture of Christianity, in order to contextualize the Learner Practice of Units 1 and 4 of the Catholic Religious and Moral Education Program (EMRC), in the fifth year of schooling: "Living Together" and "Building Fraternity". Therefore, in the development of the whole process, the question arose: what is the role of the EMRC discipline in the school and what is its contribution to the construction of the common good and the care of the other? From this question, a reflection was made in order to present some keys of reading for this construction of the Common Good and Care of the Other and about how to concretize it in the educational action with the contribution of this discipline. With multiple keys we could find, we conclude that the EMRC is one; and another possible is the Franciscan Hospitaller Culture, whose spirituality is distinguished, in its essence, by caring for the other, defining itself through a path - the pedagogy of love. This pedagogy conveys the values of simplicity, joy, and hospitality expressed in the proximity to the other. It is from these keys that, finally, a pedagogical proposal is presented - the implementation of the "O Chaveiro" dynamics, whose objective promotes the involvement of students, families and the educational community, and disseminate the most significant contents of the EMRC discipline.
