Maria Montessori's words -
“...Christ, caressing the head of a little child who, with reverent
wondering eyes, looked into His face, [said], ‘Whosoever shall become
as one of these little ones, he shall be greatest in the Kingdom of
Heaven.’ Now let us picture among those to whom these words
were spoken, an ardent, worshipping soul who takes them into his heart.
With a mixture of respect and love of sacred curiosity and of a desire to
achieve this spiritual greatness, (the teacher) sets himself to observe every
manifestation of this little child. Even such an observer placed in a
classroom filled with little children will not be the new educator whom we
wish to form. But let us seek to implant in the soul the self-sacrificing
spirit of the scientist with the reverent love of the disciple of Christ, and
we shall have prepared the spirit of the teacher. From the child itself,
he will learn how to perfect himself as an educator...”
