God is the giver of youth and he is at work in the life of each young person. Youth is a blessed time for the young and a grace for the Church and for the world. It is joy, a song of hope and a blessing.
Dios es el autor de la juventud y Él obra en cada joven. La juventud es un tiempo bendito para el joven y una bendición para la Iglesia y el mundo. Es una alegría, un canto de esperanza y una bienaventuranza.
(#135 Christus Vivit, Pope Francis)
