Christus Vivit

Jesus is “young among the young in order to be an example for the young and to consecrate them to the Lord”.^{3SAINT IRENAEUS, Adversus Hæreses, II, 22, 4: PG 7, 784.} For this reason the Synod said that “youth is an original and stimulating stage of life, which Jesus himself experienced, thereby sanctifying it”.^{4Final Document of the Fifteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, 60.
