The crisis of educational process implementation makes one pose a question concerning the nature of pedagogy which would be able to face the challenges of modern civilization. Pedagogy of sanctity, being at the core of Christian education system, is concerned with man’s development according to the perfect example set by Christ. John Paul II included the concept of pedagogy based on personalism in his teaching, which still influences Christians’ religious attitudes. The comparison between spiritual coaching and the concept of pedagogy of sanctity included in John Paul II’s teaching is a chance for a profound understanding of modern methods of influencing people. It is also a possibility of evaluating the usefulness of these methods for Christian pedagogy.

(Title in Roma language: In-karnacia e svuntiaqeri. Pal-e truposqeri estetika ande ververa forme e rromane kulturaqere). Every human being needs senses, located within their bodies, to see their surroundings, themselves and their very bodies. They use body aesthetics to design the image of their bodies and orient their actions around that formula. The article presents the way Roma people/Gypsies perceive their bodies. The author takes the readers to a Transylvanian village called Trabea, inhabited by various Roma/Gypsy groups Tigani ('Gypsies'), Tigani de matase ('Silk Gypsies), Corturari ('Tent Gypsies') and the converted Pentecostal Gypsies, who use different body aesthetics which also helps them diversify from the Romanian majority. Using the categories called sociologie sacree (an alternative theory of religion which seeks sacrum not in heaven or the Church but in socially-created areas) the author shows how various Roma/Gypsy groups use their bodies to em-body the sacrum, and by doing it, mark their social status, react to discrimination and reflect the inner structure of their group.

The article analyses Sister Faustina's Diary - Divine Mercy in my Soul, which reveals the exceptional ability of the author to transcend pain and sanctify it. Tuberculosis and the related suffering were for Sister Faustina a sign of being chosen, called to accomplish the mission of salvation. The teleologisation of the illness is an example of her Christian interpretation where intentionality of physical suffering interweaves with the vision of the Passion. From the perspective of psychopathology, one the other hand, the mission of the saint is reduced to visual and auditory hallucinations with the sublimation of human drives being at their source. The experience of chronic health dysfunction leaves an open road to interpretation. The illness can, as in the case of Sister Faustina, be subjected to cultural and religious signification or stripped of any meaning. The author draws attention to the interpretation of Sister Kowalska's case from the perspective of medical anthropology. In this interpretation the illness becomes a relativised text of culture, which implies the necessity for a holistic approach. Cultural anthropology (and its subdiscipline, i.e. medical anthropology) overcomes the limitations of biomedical paradigm, showing that the illness is a phenomenon at the intersection of many discourses and ideologies. The main aim of the article is to show the worldviews which orientate contemporary reflection on the problem of health and illness, discussed in both the contextual and general theoretical dimensions.
