Sažetak
Crisis and resilience are two seemingly difficult realities to reconcile, which are often distinguished in different ways in some socio-cultural contexts. However, while these realities are inevitable for every human community, they are also to some extent, inseparable. The crisis, as a truly inevitable reality, can and should serve as a source of building new forms of resilience of individuals and communities. The Church, as a very specific form of interpersonal organization, in the contemporary context, needs to deal more with this way of relating to crisis situations. In order for this to be possible, it is necessary to formulate approaches imbued with the dynamism of appropriate resilience in crisis situations in concrete pastoral action. This article is dedicated to the theological-pastoral discernment of the elements of pastoral approaches that serve this goal, and presents the indicated elements in some newer approaches. The article specifically addresses the following approaches to crisis situations: the approach in the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Amoris laetitia, the Catechumenal pathways for married life, and the approach of the association Rondine Cittadella della Pace.
