Youth Ministry, as traditionally organized, has also suffered the impact of social changes. Young people often fail to find responses to their concerns, needs, problems and hurts in the usual structures. As adults, we find it hard to listen patiently to them, to appreciate their concerns, demands, and to speak to them in a language they can understand.

Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness, but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and suffices for the journey. To those who suffer, God does not provide arguments which explain everything; rather, his response is that of an accompanying presence, a history of goodness which touches every story of suffering and opens up a ray of light.

Let us learn from the Virgin Mary how to be bolder in obeying the word of God.

Beware of getting too comfortable! When we are comfortable, it’s easy to forget other people.

Charity, patience and tenderness are very beautiful gifts. If you have them, you want to share them with others.

REJECT ALL FORMS OF CORRUPTION THAT DIVERT RESOURCES FROM THE POOR

Life is a precious gift, but we realize this only when we give it to others.
