Agreement to being gifted is one of Pope Benedict XVI's most beautiful thoughts. Before a young pedagogue assumes responsibility for another man, he has to find this vocation, has to experience being gifted, he has to allow the act of being gifted in his own life. Accompanying a pupil in his life one has to discover the truth that in order to give one has to know what he himself has; in order to start a fire one has to burn himself. The concept of “pedagogy of bestowal” appears as a concept of formation of a young person who aspires to achieving a mature personality. At the basis of bestowal there is the primacy of accepting something from God. Its aim is to discover God's gifts, to accept them, to experience this richness, and to pass it to other people, in the sense of responsibility. According to Ratzinger the discovery of being given by God is the beginning of any true life with God and in God. It is also the basis for the formation of any human person. The man lives by a gift, no matter if he realizes it or not. Starting from life which is the “first” gift, he uses gifts that he comes across in his life, until the last gift, that is death. Benedict XVI points to five main goals in pedagogy of bestowal: faith, love, hope, responsibility and truth.
