Reflection 290
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
This article is all about the youth apostolate
One
idea stands out:
The first apostles of young people should
be young people
Over
the years in Hong Kong and China I've run many "English Corners'
for young English students to practise their spoken skills with
"native" English speakers
Young English students love to talk to a "foreigner" of any age, but if that foreigner is a young person, there is almost a magnetic bonding
So...if
for example one was using English Corners as a reach-out to young people, in any
part of the world, the first "apostles" should be
.....other young people!
Jesus, please help young Christians get more involved in reach-out programs to other young people!
