Abstract

The Surabaya Diocese Students Cadreization Program (Program Kaderisasi Mahasiswa Keuskupan Surabaya) is a response to the Church's solicitude for the condition of Catholic students who need to apprehend and face the challenges of the times in the light of their creed. In a particular way, this program focuses on cultivating the Church cadres who are discerning, reflective, perceptive, and in solidarity with all the problems of life around them, both on their campus and in their community, based on the spirituality and values of the Catholic Social Teachings. During the evaluation and reflection process of the program, which has been ongoing for five years (2019-2023), the team of facilitators came across Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation entitled “Christus Vivit” which was promulgated on March 25, 2019. In this document, the Pope listens to young Catholics throughout the world, draws inspiration from sources of faith, and sets the basic guidance for the integral formation of the Catholic youth that should always be contextual to the current times. This article provides a clear reflection on The Surabaya Diocese Students Cadreization Program (Program Kaderisasi Mahasiswa Keuskupan Surabaya) in light of the spirit and values called for by Pope Francis in "Christus Vivit." As such, this document should be considered as an important reference for developing the program because it is truly able to clarify, strengthen, emphasize several important accentuations, and provide inspiration for the program.

Abstract

Pope Francis has declared 2025 as an Ordinary Jubilee Year with the theme Pilgrims of Hope (Peregrinantes in Spem). Amid a world grappling with various crises that threaten humanity and the natural environment, the Pope emphasizes the importance of hope, asserting that Christian hope never disappoints. This hope is not mere optimism or a denial of suffering and death but a virtue rooted in faith and realized through acts of love. In the tradition of Western philosophy, hope has also been a significant topic explored by Gabriel Marcel, a French philosopher, playwright, and music critic. This article seeks to uncover the strong correlation between Marcel’s philosophical reflections and Pope Francis’s magisterial teachings on hope. For Marcel, hope is fundamentally an inner drive that motivates and emboldens individuals to respond to the ontological exigencies of their existence, even while inhabiting a "broken world" that seeks to alienate humans from themselves, others, the world, and God. For Pope Francis, hope is a call of faith to seek and realize the common good, including care for creation, amidst the multifaceted crises of humanity and the environment. By comparing key ideas, this article identifies a shared vision of Pilgrims of Hope in these two perspectives.
