Apostles of youth

In the crazy busyness of work lately - I've had little chance to blog. But I'm back.

You may know this, but the Pope was in Brazil earlier in May and had a lot of good things to say to the bishops and the laity in Latin America.

When he was addressing the youth on May 10, 2007 in Brazil he commissioned them, saying-


“I send you out, therefore, on the great mission of evangelizing young men and women who have gone astray in this world like sheep without a shepherd. Be apostles of youth. Invite them to walk with you, to have the same experience of faith, hope, and love; to encounter Jesus so that they may feel truly loved, accepted, able to realize their full potential.”

I really like that statement by our Holy Father Pope Benedict. Whoop!

Holy Spirit, in this season of Pentecost, make us "apostles of youth;" help us to invite others to encounter the most wonderful person that ever lived - Jesus, in whose name we pray. Amen!

One way we are using at ChristLife to help "youth" encounter Jesus - is a course for young adults on the basic message of salvation and Jesus (kerygma) called Discovering Christ - we will be doing it at a local parish for young adults (18-32) - whom I think the Pope would lump in as "youth" - since he's like 80.

What are some ways the Lord uses you as "apostles of youth"?
