Live in the Truth!

My dear young people: Christ is your friend and he loves you very much. He is your best friend. To discover this, you must spend time talking to him in prayer. Your relationship with him will grow only through conversation with him. And from that prayerful conversation, you will hear him say: “You are my friends if you do what I command you” (Io. 15, 14). Follow the path marked out by your friend, Jesus. He wants to help you answer the difficult problems that life presents and he wants you to know as well that, is spite of unanswered questions and unsolved problems, he always loves you. Live in the knowledge of this truth. Let Christ lead you to the truth. Live in the peace and the love of Christ, and make that love known to others. “May the peace of Christ reign in your hearts... always be thankful” (Col. 3, 15). 

Pope John Paul II, 1989

Youth

The numbers speak for themselves. Mary was in her teens when called to be the Mother of God. Saint John was no older than 20 as he stood at the foot of the cross. Mother Theresa responded to God's call at 17. Jesus lived his whole life within the World Youth Day age bracket.

St Paul encourgaged Timothy, a young man living in the years after Jesus, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity."

We want to connect you to other young Catholics, encourage you in your faith, and support you in all you do - uni, school, work, friends - every facet of life.
