A New Morning“A Church for young
people, which will know how to speak to their heart and enkindle, comfort, and inspire enthusiasm in it with the joy of the Gospel and the strength of the Eucharist;
A New Morning“A Church which will
know how to invite and to welcome the person who seeks a purpose for which to commit his whole existence;
A New Morning“A Church which is not
afraid to require much, after having given much; which does not fear asking from young people the effort of a noble and authentic adventure, such as that of the following of the Gospel.”
A New MorningJesus called his first
disciples, as he calls you now.
Like the apostles, like the saints. . . , like all those who have allowed the Lord Jesus to choose them, nor should you (young people) be silent
A New MorningEach of you has a
special mission in life, and you are each called to be a disciple of Christ.

DISCIPLESHIP
A New MorningGo, therefore make
disciples of all the nations
A New MorningThe Christian faith is,
above all, conversion to Jesus Christ, full and sincere adherence to his person and the decision to walk in his footsteps.
A New MorningFaith is a personal
encounter with Jesus Christ making, of oneself, a disciple of him. This demands a permanent commitment to think like him, to judge like him and to live as he lived.
A New MorningIn this way the believer
unites himself to the community of disciples and appropriates the faith of the Church.

Grown Up
Frances: What's it feel like when you grow up?
Elsie: I don't know. I think perhaps it's different for everyone.
Frances: Do you want to grow up?
Elsie: Yes, I think so
Grown Up
Frances: Even if it means never seeing fairies again?
Elsie: It doesn't matter never seeing them again. We'll never forget like everyone else who grows up. Because we have the photographs. That's why they're so important. Whenever we start to forget or to pretend nothing ever happened, we can look at the photographs; and we'll remember.
Grown Up
Frances: I think I know how it is to be grown up.
Elsie: Yes?
Frances: It's when you feel how someone feels who isn't you.
A New MorningAdult faith formation, by which people consciously grow in the life of Christ through experience, reflection, prayer, and study, must be "the central task in [this] catechetical enterprise,“ becoming "the axis around which revolves the catechesis of childhood and adolescence as well as that of old age."
A New MorningWhat does mature adult faith look like in those who respond generously to God's call? The General Directory for Catechesis says that it is "a living, explicit, and fruitful confession of faith."
