Summary/Abstract: Fra Bono Shagi is one of the contemporary Catholic theologians who, although they did not pursue an academic career, made an important contribution to theological science. His writing activity was focused on the analysis of current ecclesial-pastoral practice and the situation in society. The dominant point of view from which he observed them was of a spiritual nature: he questioned how much current pastoral practice builds more mature persons and better communities. In this sense, he published a textbook for a two-year programme of the general education section at the "Institute of Christian Spirituality", where he taught for ten years, under the significant title: "Pastoral care as a place and space of spiritual growth." Considering the fact that he held the Council's emphases and guidelines to be providential for the modern reform of the Church and its pastoral engagement, in his reflections he offered numerous encouragements on how to better implement them in ecclesial pastoral care for the good of the Church and society
