The heart of a servant
Offer truth with love, humility, and preparation.
A servant does more than transfer information. A servant listens, honors questions, protects boundaries, models repentance, and guides youth toward Christ and the life of the Church.
I will not pretend to know what I do not know.I will distinguish doctrine, pastoral guidance, and local custom.I will never use shame to force spiritual behavior.I will follow safeguarding and escalation procedures.
