La práctica de los valores cristianos en jóvenes universitarios entre 17 y 22 años, a la luz del modelo de Cristo desde el enfoque de Fernando Rielo, en el año 2026.

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzed the extent to which young people at the Our Lady of the Pillar (Nuestra Señora del Pilar) Parish in Bogotá understand and practice Christian values such as love for one s neighbor, truth, and forgiveness in their daily lives, viewed through the lens of the model of Christ and the approach of Fernando Rielo. The study employed a quantitative, non-experimental, and descriptive design, incorporating both fieldwork and a literature review. An analytical and statistical method was used, with data collected via a survey specifically, a questionnaire I developed, which was validated by experts and utilized a Likert-type scale. The results reveal a significant gap between the actual practice of these values ​​and an intellectual understanding of what a value is. Factors such as social pressure, unhealed wounds, individualism, and the demands of academic life often leave young people ill-equipped to face crises; instead, they tend to withdraw into themselves, failing to seek God in their lives. Consequently, it is recommended that programs be established to train young people and volunteers to provide support through creative pastoral strategies.
