Within the framework of Holy Week—a commemoration of profound spiritual significance for millions of believers, and acknowledged even by philosophical traditions and non-Christian religions—we are presented with a timely opportunity to reflect, from an academic and ethical perspective, on the universal values embedded in the message of Jesus of Nazareth: unconditional love, active compassion, and social justice. These principles, though rooted in theological discourse, carry ethical and anthropological relevance that can enrich the human, social, and environmental sciences in their pursuit of a more just and solidaristic humanity.

In times of global crisis—environmental, health-related, economic, and ethical—the commitment of the academic community must transcend knowledge production to become a transformative force in society. Caring for our “common home,” as our planet has been referred to within the framework of integral ecology, demands a science with conscience—one that integrates methodological rigor with moral responsibility toward present and future generations. May this Holy Week inspire in us, as researchers and scholars, a renewed sense of co-responsibility for our shared destiny, driving concrete actions that promote human dignity, peace, and the sustainability of the world we inhabit.
