The document discusses the role and responsibilities of teachers. It says that teaching is a vocation and gift from God, not just a job. Teachers are called to share in Jesus' ministry of teaching and to form the whole person, not just impart information. While they impart knowledge, teachers must point students toward the ultimate Source of knowledge, which is God. The document emphasizes that teachers are servants and stewards of the gifts entrusted to them, to develop and share for the good of the community.

2.  “Though we are many parts, we are one
body in union with Christ, and we are all
joined to each other as different parts of
one body. So, we are to use our different
gifts in accordance with the grace that God
has given us. If our gift is to speak God’s
message, we should do it according to the
faith we have; if it is to serve, we should
serve; if it is to teach, we should teach; if it
is to encourage others, we should do so.”

9. Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples…
You must not be called “Teacher,” because you
are all equal and have only one Teacher. And
you must not call anyone here on earth
“Father,” because you only have one Father in
heaven. Nor should you be called “Leader,”
because your one and only leader is the
Messiah. The greatest among you must be
your servant. Whoever makes himself great
will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself
will be made great.

13. Dumating ang oras ng panganganak ni
Elisabet, at nagluwal siya ng isang sanggol
na lalaki. Nabalitaan ng kanyang mga
kapitbahay at mga kamag-anak na siya ay
pinagpala ng Panginoon, at nakigalak sila
sa kanya.
Nang ikawalong araw, dumalo sila sa
pagtutuli ng sanggol. Zacarias sana ang
ipangangalan sa kanya – gaya ng kanyang

14. . . . ama – ngunit sinabi ng kanyang ina,
“Hindi! Juan ang ipapangalan sa kanyang.”
“Subalit wala isa man sa iyong mga kamag-
anak ang may ganyang pangalan,” wika
nila. Kaya’t hinudyatan nila ang kanyang
ama at itinanong kung ano ang ibig niyang
itawag sa sanggol. Humingi siya ng
masusulatan at sumulat ng ganito: “Juan
ang kanyang pangalan.” At namangha
silang lahat.

15. Pagdaka ay nakapagsalita siya at nagpuri
sa Diyos. Natakot ang lahat ng kapitbahay,
anupat naging usap-usapan sa buong
kaburulan ng Judea ang mga bagay na ito.
Pinakaisip-isip ito ng lahat ng nakaalam at
ang kanilang tanong: “Magiging ano nga
kaya ang batang ito?” Sapagkat
maliwanag na sumasakanya ang
Panginoon.
