Abstract(s)
Em 13 de Maio de 2017 foram canonizadas em Fátima duas crianças, Jacinta Marto e Francisco Marto, depositárias da Mensagem da Virgem. No entanto, não foi fácil, ao longo do processo da sua beatificação, chegar à conclusão unânime de que duas crianças podiam ser santas, alcançar a santidade pelo exercício heróico das virtudes cristãs. O exemplo destas primeiras crianças de Fátima beatificadas abriu de certo modo caminho a uma nova reconfiguração do religioso, de abertura à santidade também das crianças, nem sempre devidamente valorizadas nas diversas dinâmicas pastorais. João Paulo II, na Homilia na Beatificação de Francisco e Jacinta, a 13 de Maio de 2000 quis explicitamente fundamentar a beatificação de duas crianças que não foram mártires nas palavras de Jesus no Evangelho: "Eu Te bendigo, ó Pai, porque escondeste estas verdades aos sábios e inteligentes, e as revelaste aos pequeninos". O mesmo Papa afirmou na Audiência Geral depois da beatificação: "Assim como em Lourdes, também em Fátima a Virgem escolheu crianças, Francisco, Jacinta e Lúcia, como destinatários da sua mensagem. Elas acolheram-na de modo tão fiel, que merecem não só serem reconhecidas como testemunhas críveis das aparições, mas elas mesmas se tornam exemplo de vida evangélica. (…) com os dois pastorinhos de Fátima a Igreja proclamou Beatos dois jovenzinhos porque, embora não sejam mártires, demonstraram que viviam as virtudes cristãs em grau heróico, apesar da sua tenra idade. Heroísmo de crianças, mas verdadeiro heroísmo" (Audiência, 17-V-2000). O objectivo deste estudo foi o de estudar e aprofundar como é encarada a infância nos vários textos da Sagrada Escritura, da Tradição cristã e do Magistério recente da Igreja Católica romana, com uma metodologia claramente teológica.

However, it was not easy, during the process of beatification, to conclude that two kids could be holy, achieve Holiness by the heroic exercise of the Christian virtues. The example of these first children of Fatima beatification opened in a way a new religious turndown reconfiguration to holiness also of children, not always properly valued in the various pastoral dynamic. John Paul II, at the homily of their beatification, wanted explicitly to support the beatification of two children who were not martyrs in the words of Jesus in the Gospel: "Father, ... to you I offer praise; for what you have hidden from the learned and the clever you have revealed to the merest children" (Mt 11: 25) (…)". The same Pope stated at the general audience after beatification: "With the two shepherd children of Fatima, the Church has beatified two very young people because, although they were not martyrs, they showed that they lived the Christian virtues to a heroic degree despite their young age. The heroism of children, but true heroism" (Audience, May 17 2000). The aim of this communication was to study - using the theological method - how childhood is seen in the texts of Scripture, the Christian Tradition and the recent Magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church.
