Sveti Frančišek Asiški kot mirotvorec nekoč in danes : then and now

Šegula, Andrej (author)

Sveti Frančišek Asiški je s svojim življenjem in spisi postal vzor miru, sprave in bratstva. Njegova odločitev za preprost, ubožen in nenasilen način življenja temelji na evangeljskem pozivu k ljubezni do Boga in bližnjega. Njegovo srečanje s sultanom Malikom al Kamilom leta 1219 simbolizira pogumen dialog med verstvi. Frančiškov duh miru se ohranja v njegovih spisih, kjer spodbuja odpuščanje, ljubezen in bratstvo. Leta 1986 je papež Janez Pavel II. v Assisiju organiziral zgodovinsko molitev za mir z voditelji različnih verstev, kar je okrepilo medverski dialog, hkrati pa postalo trajna pobuda. Papež Frančišek je v enciklikah „Hvaljen moj Gospod“ in „Fratelli tutti“ Frančiškovo vizijo miru, skrbi za stvarstvo in univerzalnega bratstva nadaljeval. Danes Frančiškov duh odmeva v cerkvenih dokumentih, molitvenih pobudah in prizadevanjih za mir ter dialog.

Abstract

Saint Francis of Assisi, through his life and writings, became a model of peace, reconciliation, and fraternity. His choice to live a simple, poor, and non-violent life was rooted in the Gospel call to love God and one’s neighbour. His encounter with Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil in 1219 stands as a powerful symbol of courageous interreligious dialogue. The spirit of peace that permeates Francis’s writings continues to inspire forgiveness, love, and brotherhood. In 1986, Pope John Paul II convened a historic interfaith prayer for peace in Assisi, which significantly advanced interreligious dialogue and has since become a lasting initiative. Pope Francis carries forward this vision in his encyclicals “La-udato si’” and “Fratelli tutti”, emphasizing peace, care for creation, and universal fraternity. Today, the Franciscan spirit resonates in Church documents, prayer initiatives, and ongoing efforts for peace and dialogue.
