Abstract

This article examines the Franciscan spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi through the lens of peace theology and interreligious dialogue. Amid escalating religious and cultural tensions in today’s world, Francis’ spiritual legacy offers a new paradigm that integrates Christian mysticism with universal peacemaking praxis. This study employs a historical-theological approach, exploring Francis’ encounter with Sultan Malik al-Kamil during the Crusades and its theological significance for interfaith relations. The findings reveal that Franciscan spirituality is not only contemplative but also dynamic and open to interreligious engagement. Its spirit of peace, love for all creation, and simplicity of life provide a unique contribution to a world marked by violence, materialism, and religious exclusivism. This study emphasizes the relevance of Francis’ legacy as a source of inspiration for global dialogue and the building of a culture of peace. Practically, it calls both the Church and multicultural societies to rediscover spiritual values rooted in history to strengthen human solidarity

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of young people as an integral and active part of contemporary church life based on theological approaches and Christian spirituality in the light of the apostolic document Christus Vivit by Pope Francis. This research uses a library research method with primary data in the form of Catholic Church documents, especially Christus Vivit, as well as relevant theological and pastoral references. The analysis technique is done through textual study and theological reflection. The results of the study show that young people are seen as subjects of the Church today who have great potential in realizing spiritual and pastoral renewal. Their spirituality is shaped by a personal relationship with the living Christ, active involvement in the community, and a missionary spirit. The findings confirm that the Church needs to open a wider space for the involvement of young people as part of the dynamics of evangelization in the midst of the challenges of the times.
