He is alive, Christ, our Hope!

Reserve my spot

He is alive, Christ, our hope, and he is the greatest youth of this world.

Preacher: Archbishop Jean-Paul James, Archbishop of Bordeaux.  

Everything he touches becomes young, becomes new, fills with life.

The first words to address to every young Christian are therefore: He is alive and he wants you alive!

Jesus is "young among the young in order to be an example for young people and to consecrate them to the Lord."

That is why the Synod affirmed that "youth is an original and stimulating period of life, which Jesus himself lived, sanctifying it."

For adults and teenagers.
