“ The Church will have to initiate everyone – priests, religious and laity – into this art of accompaniment ” (EG n. 169)  to reach, after a period of formation, those who want to take advantage from this missionary service: “today more than ever we need men and women who, on the basis of their experience of accompanying others, are familiar with these processes “ (cfr. EG n. 171).
