The mystery of our capacity to love in Dilexit Nos Principle and foundation of a youthful spirituality

Abstract

In a global context of suffering, where millions of people are affected by poverty, inequality, armed conflicts, and socio-environmental crises; where youth are often viewed through an adult-centered perspective and their transcendent dimension is overlooked leading them to question, "Who am I?" and "For whom am I?" the reasons of love emerge, transcending human logic. These reasons are drawn from Dilexit Nos: On the Human and Divine Love of the Heart of Jesus Christ, serving as the principle and foundation of a youth spirituality that is practically committed to the care of oneself, of others, and of nature.
