O trabalho em exposição tem como marco as Jornadas Mundiais da Juventude (JMJ) como uma forma de João Paulo II exercer o serviço de pastor universal. O estudo desenrola-se no domínio da Teologia Prática, tendo como objetivo perceber de que maneira a JMJ foi um marco de João Paulo II no exercer da sua missão de pastor a partir da Cátedra Petrina. Se as Jornadas Mundiais da Juventude são entendidas como um ápice, um despertar, um convite ou uma saída na vida dos jovens, tal como foram concebidas desde o seu nascimento em Roma 1984/1985, a 20 de dezembro de 1985, até ao hoje da nossa história, isso deve-se à pessoa que a instituiu, assim como o célebre gesto que se tornou símbolo da sua presença (e depois ausência) que era beijar o chão de cada novo lugar que visitava logo depois de descer do avião. A instituição da JMJ foi uma forma de João Paulo II dizer ao mundo e à Igreja, em todas as suas dimensões, que os jovens são a fértil terra que precisa de ser cuidada, regada, polida, etc., ao jeito do Bom Pastor - Jesus Cristo, o Mestre dos Mestres. A JMJ foi uma forma inconfundível de João Paulo II dar a conhecer ao mundo a essência da sua missão. Como vigário de Cristo na terra e cabeça visível da Igreja, o marco da instituição da JMJ foi a demonstração mais expressiva, animadora e comovente do pautar da sua missão e daí a constatação e a visibilidade de longuíssimos e vibrantes aplausos, quer da parte dos jovens, quer da parte dos outros fiéis, perante as suas visitas, discursos, homilias, etc., sinais do acolhimento e da aceitação da missão por ele abraçada, tendo os jovens como companheiros e amigos na missão que Deus lhe confiou. O acolhimento de João Paulo II e a sua forma de fazer missão foram assumidos pelas suas ovelhas de um modo verdadeiramente sublime. João Paulo II permitiu e juntou-se aos jovens na luta com espírito evangélico em prol dum acolhimento focado no convite do Mestre; «Jovem, Eu te ordeno: Levanta-te!» (Lc 7, 14), ou «<Em nome de Jesus Cristo Nazareno, levanta-te e anda!» (Atos 3,6), tendo no horizonte o compromisso da responsabilidade pela diferença; a Jornada Mundial da Juventude foi o ponto de viragem na sua missão de Pastor. O percurso pastoral de João Paulo II como legítimo sucessor de Pedro foi transversalmente diferenciado e impactante. Ele caminhou sempre com os olhos no passado na inspiração no Concilio Vaticano II mas com o coração no presente, convicto de que o seu «Pai celeste sabe do que necessitais antes de vós lho pedirdes>> (Mt 6,8), exercendo com dignidade e atitude a sua missão de Pastor sempre em comunhão com a Igreja mãe e mestra, e o coração centralizado em o Pastor.
The work on display has as its landmark the World Youth Days as a way for John Paul II to exercise the service of Universal Pastor. The study unfolds in the field of practical pastoral theology, aiming to understand how the WYD was a milestone for John Paul II in carrying out his mission as pastor from the Petrino Chair. If World Youth Day is understood as a <<peak, an awakening, an invitation or a way out>> in the lives of young people, as they were conceived from their birth in Rome, on 20 de December 1985, until today history, is due to the person who instituted them. As well as the famous gesture that became a symbol of his presence (and then absence), which was: kissing the floor of each new place he visited right after getting off the plane. The institution of WYD leads us to think that it was a way of telling the world and the Church, in all its dimensions, that young people are soils that need to be cared for, kissed, welcomed, understood, watered, polished, loved, etc., as did the Good Shepherd - Jesus Christ, the Master of Masters. WYD was an unmistakable way for John Paul II to make the essence of his mission known to the world. As Vicar of Christ on earth and visible Head of the Church, the landmark of the institution of WYD, was a most expressive, encouraging and moving demonstration of guiding its mission. Hence the longest and most vibrant applause from both the young people and the faithful in his presence as a sign that the path he chose, with young people as companions and friends in the mission that God entrusted to him, was truly sublime. And John Paul II allowed and joined the young people in the fight with an evangelical spirit in favor of a welcome focused on the Master's invitation <«<Young man, I tell you, stand up! » (cf. Lc 7, 14), or «in the name of Jesus, arise and walk» (cf. Acts 3,6), with the commitment of responsibility for difference on the horizon. The mission of John Paul II, as the legitimate successor of Peter, was transversally different and impactful. He always walked with his eyes on the past - Second Vatican Council and with his heart on the present, convinced that his Master <<knows everything he needs, before he asks him» (Cf. Mt 6:8). And he carried out his mission as pastor with dignity and attitude, always in communion with the mother Church and with his heart centered on The Shepherd.
