Aportes de la comprensión del amor a partir de 1 corintios 13:1-13 a los procesos formativos de la educación religiosa
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-19) Salas Quejada, Alba Milena; Pérez Vargas, John Jairo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ALSu7s4AAAAJ&hl=es; https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=list_works&hl=es&user=_u_82NwAAAAJ; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9978-3997
This article examines the contributions that the Christian love understanding based on the message of 1 Corinthians 13 can offer to the formative processes of sixth-grade students in an educational institution located in Condoto, Chocó, Colombia. The study was developed using a qualitative approach framed within a narrative perspective which allows exploring how both the teacher and the students interpret the values of love in their daily experiences and interpersonal relationships. To collect the information a semi-structured interview was conducted with the Religious Education teacher and a focus group was carried out with the students. These techniques made it possible to gather spontaneous accounts of situations related to coexistence conflict and moments in which students attempt to practice patience kindness or respect. The findings indicate that students recognize Christian love as an important value although they face difficulties when trying to apply it in emotionally tense situations or disagreements with their peers. At the same time there is evidence of progress in personal reflection particularly in the willingness to apologize and the intention to improve their attitudes. These results suggest that Religious Education can become a meaningful formative space when love is approached as an ethical and spiritual principle.

This Master’s thesis examines the understanding of Revelation in the work of Jean-Luc Marion with the aim of showing how his phenomenological proposal opens a new horizon for contemporary theology. The central question investigates the reasons that allow Marion’s phenomenology to be considered a fruitful field for rethinking Revelation beyond the boundaries of classical metaphysics. First, the study presents the fundamental elements of the debate initiated by Dominique Janicaud regarding the legitimacy of theological themes within contemporary phenomenology. Subsequently, it analyzes the conceptual framework of Marion’s thought, focusing especially on his notions of idol and icon, givenness, and the saturated phenomenon. Finally, Revelation is examined as the saturated phenomenon par excellence, capable of exceeding the traditional categories of knowledge and manifesting itself as an event of givenness. The study concludes that Marion’s originality lies in shifting the understanding of God from onto-theology and the metaphysics of presence toward a phenomenology of givenness. In this way, God ceases to be conceived primarily as an object of conceptual definition and is instead received as an event that gives itself in the kenotic event of the Son of God. Revelation thus appears as the highest form of phenomenological saturation, in which divine givenness surpasses every attempt at conceptual mastery and opens new possibilities for dialogue between philosophy and theology.
Las centinelas de la fe: aportes de la mujer a la fe católica y la construcción de paz en El Catatumbo
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-25) Jiménez Iaselli, Jaider Alessandro; Quevedo Rodríguez, Andrés Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000021931; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001650693; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=E-_L9xUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7915-6491; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9890-6112
The role of women in the Bajo Catatumbo region, which covers much of the northern part of the department of Norte de Santander, is the central theme of this paper, since “the dignity of women and their vocation, a constant subject of human and Christian reflection, has taken on particular importance in recent years.” (John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Mulieris Dignitatem, 1988). Women have been present not only in the construction of the history of this territory, but also in the consolidation of its culture and traditions, assuming a leading role thanks to their leadership and effort, as well as in the consolidation of the Catholic faith in the midst of a landscape characterized by armed conflict, political power struggles, land control by illegal groups, injustice, and poverty. The objective of this work is to analyze the contributions that women have made in this complex social context. To this end, the question: In what specific ways have women contributed to the experience, transmission, and preservation of the Catholic faith in Catatumbo, and how has this contribution impacted community resilience and peacebuilding? will allow us to address the role of women from the perspective of resilience, commitment, cooperation, and hope that characterizes women in this region.
Fundamentos teológicos de la religiosidad popular en torno a la figura de San José como marco de orientación de acciones pastorales en la arquidiócesis de Cali
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-20) Núñez Quiceno , Johanny; Pérez Vargas, Jhon Jairo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002105151; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002147330; https://orcid.org/0009-0006-1524-6814
This paper analyzes the theological foundations of popular religiosity surrounding devotion to Saint Joseph, with the aim of establishing guiding criteria for pastoral action in the Archdiocese of Cali. Drawing on theological-pastoral approaches, lived religion, secularization theory, and a cultural perspective, the research examines how believers experience, interpret, and reinterpret this devotion within their spiritual and daily lives. The study was conducted using a qualitative paradigm, with a hermeneutic perspective and narrative design, employing a semi-structured survey administered to two parish communities. The results were analyzed using co-occurrence maps. The findings reveal that devotion to Saint Joseph is structured around traditional practices imbued with a profound, affective and symbolic component, through which the concrete needs of human existence are addressed. It was also identified that the "mediating function of intercession" constitutes a central category in the religious experience and that this devotion drives significant processes of moral transformation, leading devotees to seek to be better parents, spouses and believers.
Cuando la fe cristiana se politiza: una lectura teológica sobre su instrumentalización
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-17) López Mosquera, Edinson; Rivera Roberto, Hernán Yesid; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001420465; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=KqyFUW4AAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3170-0432
This research analyzes the theological implications that emerge from the instrumentalization of the Christian faith in the political arena of the Urabá subregion of Antioquia between 2016 and 2025. The problem arises from the observation that the language, symbols, and narratives of the Christian faith have been used at various points in public debate as resources for political legitimation and electoral mobilization, generating tensions between the mission of the Church and its participation in political life. The objective of this study is to analyze these theological implications in dialogue with the political theology of Johann Baptist Metz and with the contributions of Latin American and Caribbean theology, particularly those of Ignacio Ellacuría and Jon Sobrino. Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative approach with documentary input and adopts the theological method of see-judge-act. In the see phase, concrete dynamics of the instrumentalization of the Christian faith in political processes are described; in the judge phase, a theological discernment is carried out based on theoretical frameworks; and in its application, pastoral guidelines for responsible political participation are proposed. The results show that the Christian faith can be used as a resource to legitimize political projects, and it is concluded that the Christian faith possesses a legitimate public dimension capable of inspiring ethical commitments to the common good. However, when the Christian faith is subordinated to the interests of political power, its prophetic character is distorted. From the perspective of political theology and Latin American theology, the proposal is to recover a public presence of faith that, instead of legitimizing power projects, takes a critical stance and contributes to building a more just and reconciled society.
El impacto del uso de recursos digitales en las prospectiva de acción misionera de las Obras Misionales Pontificias (OMP)
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-30) Durán Serrudo, Neidy Asisa; Pérez Vargas, John Jairo; Universidad Santo Tomás
This article analyzes the impact of the use of digital resources on the missionary work of the Pontifical Mission Societies (PMS) in Colombia from a prospective perspective. The research was conducted using a qualitative approach with a multiple-case study design, based on semi-structured interviews with students in the online missionary training program and diocesan directors. The results reveal a predominantly functional use of digital resources, focused on content dissemination and the optimization of formation processes, as well as tensions related to the loss of personal encounter, the superficiality of interactions, and technological access gaps. A central finding is the emergence of an understanding of mission in terms of “hybrid pastoral care,” which integrates both in-person and digital dimensions. It is concluded that this perspective constitutes a theological-pastoral category that enables the guidance of missionary action in contexts of digital transformation, moving beyond a merely instrumental view of technology.
La vulnerabilidad como revelación compasiva: la respuesta emocional de Jesús en Jn 11,33-38 en diálogo con el budismo tailandés
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-23) Jaramillo Gutiérrez, Andrés Felipe; Quevedo Rodríguez, Andrés Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000021931; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=E-_L9xUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7915-6491
This article investigates Jesus’ emotional response to the death of Lazarus in John 11:33-38 as a privileged hermeneutical locus for interreligious dialogue and Christian initiation of catechumens of Buddhist origin in Lampang, Thailand. Through an exegetical analysis of the Johannine pericope, the study argues that Jesus’ agitation and tears are not merely affective expressions but theologically charged manifestations of an embodied compassion that integrates Christological, anthropological, and soteriological dimensions. This biblical configuration of compassion is contrasted with the Theravada Buddhist notions of dukkha and karuṇā, which emphasize detachment and equanimity, as well as with the Mahāyāna reinterpretation of compassion through the bodhisattva ideal, understood as an altruistic commitment to assume the suffering of others to facilitate their liberation. The comparative analysis reveals ethical convergences and ontological divergences pertinent to inculturation processes and to the development of contextually grounded catechumenal frameworks. On this basis, the article proposes a theological–pastoral model for Christian initiation in Buddhist contexts rooted in dialogical hermeneutics, critical inculturation, and integrative practices of interiority. The study concludes that Jesus’ compassionate humanity constitutes a robust theological category for pedagogical and mystagogical mediation in intercultural settings shaped by Theravada and Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions.
“¿De qué manera los elementos fundamentales de la Espiritualidad Ignaciana inciden en el desarrollo de la inteligencia espiritual de los integrantes de la comunidad juventud Amigoniana del Colegio São Francisco de Caçapava?’’
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-11) Cifuentes Gómez, Jhoana Andrea; Santamaría Rodríguez, Juan Esteban; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001550669; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ijFz4QsAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4632-4700
This study examines the relationship between Ignatian spirituality and the development of spiritual intelligence among adolescents who participate in the Amigonian Youth Community (JUVAM) at São Francisco School in Caçapava, Brazil. In a context marked by crises of meaning, fragile interpersonal relationships, information overload, and mental health challenges, there is an increasing need to provide accompaniment processes that foster the integral development of young people. The aim of this study is to analyze how the fundamental elements of Ignatian spirituality influence the development of spiritual intelligence among JUVAM members. The research is conducted through a qualitative approach, employing a theological-hermeneutical perspective and a narrative methodology, epistemologically grounded in Karl Rahner’s transcendental method, which recognizes human experience as a privileged place for encountering God and constructing meaning. The theoretical analysis made it possible to identify that key elements of Ignatian spirituality, such as the Principle and Foundation, interiority, spiritual discernment, inner knowledge of God, cura personalis, evangelical relationality, and the Ignatian magis, foster the development of capacities associated with spiritual intelligence. These include self-awareness, the search for meaning, inner freedom, responsible decision-making, the capacity for transcendence, and the construction of value-based life projects. The study concludes that Ignatian spirituality offers a solid formative framework for strengthening adolescents’ spiritual intelligence by providing practical tools for human and spiritual accompaniment in educational settings. Furthermore, its articulation with Amigonian pedagogy constitutes a meaningful path toward the integral formation of young leaders committed to their personal, communal, and Christian development.
Aportes de la Visión Cosmoteándrica de la Creación para el Cuidado de la Casa Común

Care for our common home may be one of the most deeply reflected upon and explored topics in contemporary theology. The current environmental situation in the world makes it urgent to deepen our understanding and take action to foster more positive attitudes toward the planet. The area of theology that has a voice in the topic of current ecological need is the treatise on creation. In this reflection, we present a more open view of creation, taking into account Raimon Panikkar's cosmotheandric vision.
Fundamentos Teológicos, Identitarios y Formativos para una Escuela Diocesana de Mística y Espiritualidad en el Siglo XXI, a partir de la Teología Mística presente en Escuelas Contemporáneas y desde la Visión Integral de Raimon Panikkar y Ken Wilber.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025) Moreno Holguín, Víctor Ricardo; Santamaría Rodríguez, Juan Esteban; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001550669; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ijFz4QsAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4632-4700
This monograph responds to the prevailing demand for spirituality in the Archdiocese of Bogotá and to the educational gap in mysticism, spirituality and prayer. Its objective is to provide theological grounding for a Diocesan School of Mysticism and Spirituality for the 21st century, driven by the vision that every man being is called to be a mystic, that is, someone who experiences the mystery in order to be authentically human and Christian. This qualitative research applies Karl Rahner’s transcendental theological hermeneutics to interviews with founders and some disciples of contemporary schools (S.A.L.M.O.S.2, Friends of the Desert, and Path of Contemplation). A pioneering and unprecedented contribution is the convergent application of Raimon Panikkar’s cosmotheandric vision and Ken Wilber’s integral approach as tools for understanding the relationship between human experience and the transcendent. The study identifies theological foundations (the work of the Holy Spirit, mysticism, Christophany, integral spirituality, sacred secularity, tempiternity, interreligious dialogue among others) and proposes identifying characteristics and a structured formative model. This proposal seeks an integrative path toward the full experience of Life in unity with God, humanity, and the cosmos, forging a synodal, inclusive, and incarnated Church that responds to the yearnings of the third millennium. This innovative contribution to diocesan life, with its formative process, could bring to the Church and society what the author has called 'the urban monk and nun'.
