This article deals with how university pastoral communication can be realized. University pastoral as compassion means to put the people in the center. Years ago, the world-famous professor of fundamental theology, Johannes Baptist Metz, the founder of political theology, made a statement in the feature page supplement of the Süddeutsche Zeitung with the article „With the authority of the suffering - compassion - proposal for a world program of Christianity“. More compassion is needed in our times, he demanded. Compassion says that the difficult situation of another person does not leave me indifferent, but rather challenges me to act. In her groundbreaking first work, “Know the Ways”, Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179), describes in what unbelievable creation man finds him. Even more, how God is on the way to people and man experiences himself as a human being while on the way to God. This may be further thought of as an assignment that people are on the way to people. In terms of its approach, pastoral care can be communicative, mystagogical, person-centered, charitable-diaconal, systemic, intercultural-interreligious. Any decision for a corresponding concept means a decision for profiling. University pastoral of compassion means that practical theological action with vivacity – Viriditas - as a program and the turn of mercy determine the everyday university pastoral action.

Systematic theology, in its task of reconstructive appropriation of faith, often depends on practical reflection. Systematic theology, beyond it´s purely selfreferential language and thought games, should also engage in practical mediation problems and not farm them out to practical theology. If for this mediation it is theologically valid that the content of faith cannot be detached from the free acceptance of freely given love and cannot be presented abstractly as deducible truth of reason, then the specific addressees have a constitutive role for the arrival of revelation. This understanding of faith and revelation must be based on reflecting practical theology (such as pastoral care in schools) as a practical science of perception in view of anthropological research and on illuminating the claimed a priori openness of human beings to an ultimate word and for the hearer of the word (Karl Rahner) is not a tabula rasa. Rather, he always already knows something and has always already had experiences. Fundamental theology has a double perspective: it is concerned with the subsequent assurance of faith for those who believe, but also, and especially in the secular space (the school), with making faith possible for those who do not believe and are searching. Here the reference to practice is a primary and receiving as well as stimulating access with that basis of experience, to which also fundamental theology must reflectively refer, if it does not want to lose its character as a science of experience. These constants give food for thought when practical theology (pastoral care in schools) offers a reflective sign-of-the-time experience in the context of fundamental theological responsibility for faith as ancilla hermeneuticae and in the focused view of communion, mystagogy, creation spirituality, religious diversity and art of living.
