Abstract

: Education towards values in Saint John Paul II’s teaching holds an objective value. It represents the theological and anthropological-and-ethical context, as well as it shows to a young man the space of truth, goodness and beauty in this context. It is the integral education comprising all spheres of living and functioning. It is the personalistic-and-existentialist education. It combines personal education with intellectual, moral-and-social, cultural and religious. It is anchored in tradition and in the Word of God 132 . It might be described as the art of bestowing humanity, as well as personal and axiological potentials. The “nucleus” of this education is developing a personal model and mutual sharing of humanity – experiencing values and axiological experience, and testifying values. The personal models in this respect could be: Jesus Christ, His Mother and the Saints, St. John Paul II, a personal model of a teacher, an aspired personal model of a pupil. St. John Paul II combined in himself his pursuit of the personal model of Jesus Christ, of Jesus’ disciple and of a teacher and a young people tutor. As emphasized by A. Maj, he exhibited “the ability to experience young age with dignity, to recognise his vocation, to acquire knowledge with passion, to develop his talents, to assiduously seek knowledge, to endure in the face of adversities, to follow the requirements of conscience, to love his parents, siblings and neighbours, to testify friendship and forgiveness, devotion, courage, mature faith, prayer and love of God 133 . It ought to be supplemented with his immense care for young people, for every man, for all nations and for the whole world. But above all, with his complete dedication to fulfill his vocation being a prophet of values which guarantee the realization of full humanity.
