The crisis of educational process implementation makes one pose a question concerning the nature of pedagogy which would be able to face the challenges of modern civilization. Pedagogy of sanctity, being at the core of Christian education system, is concerned with man’s development according to the perfect example set by Christ. John Paul II included the concept of pedagogy based on personalism in his teaching, which still influences Christians’ religious attitudes. The comparison between spiritual coaching and the concept of pedagogy of sanctity included in John Paul II’s teaching is a chance for a profound understanding of modern methods of influencing people. It is also a possibility of evaluating the usefulness of these methods for Christian pedagogy.
Key words: spiritual coaching, sanctity, personalism, pedagogy of sanctity
