| description | This study aims to describe the perspectives of selected Filipino Catholic youth on the saints. A descriptive survey research design was used with two hundred and thirty-seven (237) respondents from two universities in one of the provinces of the Philippines. A validated open-ended survey questionnaire served as a research instrument to gather pertinent data on the perspectives of selected Filipino youth respondents on the saints. Responses from the open-ended survey were transcribed and processed using thematic cultural exegesis. Findings revealed that the perspectives of selected Filipino youth respondents on the saints are as follows: they are devoted/dedicated to God (<i>Itinataya at ibinubuhos ang sarili sa kalooban ng Diyos</i>), they help people with their needs (<i>Tumutulong sa masidhing pangangailangan ng mga tao</i>), they provide inspiration to follow God’s will (<i>Nagpapakita ng halimbawa ng pagtalima sa kalooban ng Diyos</i>), they are models of righteous living (<i>Isinasaloob at pinangangatawanan ang kagandahang-loob ng Diyos</i>), they are faithful followers of Christ (<i>Mga tapat na kinatawan ni Hesus</i>) and they are witnesses of God’s graciousness/benevolence (<i>Mga bakas ng kagandahang-loob ng Diyos</i>). This study recommends that persons in charge of formation in schools and parishes may craft a contextualized catechesis that will further develop the perspectives of the Filipino youth in an inculturated way. |
