Abstract

This article examines the relevance of character education for youth in the digital age, particularly amidst the challenges posed by technological advancement, globalization, and rapid social change. Grounded in the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit by Pope Francis, this study analyzes the Church’s strategic response in guiding the younger generation to use technology wisely while remaining firmly rooted in Christian faith and values. Employing the pastoral methodology of "See, Judge, Act" (Observe, Judge, Act), this paper explores the digital realities faced by young people, evaluates these socio-technological challenges through a theological lens, and proposes concrete pastoral initiatives to nurture their moral and faith development. Furthermore, the findings underscore the vital collaborative roles of the family, ecclesiastical communities, and Catholic educational institutions in character formation. Ultimately, this article advocates for presenting Jesus Christ as the ultimate role model and companion for youth navigating the complexities of the modern world.
