Church counts on you, archbishop tells youth
Addressing the youth from the archdioceses of Capiz and Jaro; and the dioceses of Bacolod, Kabankalan, Kalibo, Romblon, San Carlos and San Jose de Antique, he noted that the continuity of Christ’s mission is laid on their shoulders. “These days, it is the media of social communications that provide new sources of knowledge and culture, with their considerable power of moving men’s feelings and minds, together with the train of ideas and stirrings of the imagination carried by the sounds and sights they transmit,” he said. He challenged the youth to channel their energy to share with other people the faith they received, especially to those who are experiencing spiritual emptiness, “a consequence of their inability to communicate to and with Jesus.” “Bring them back to the Eucharist, the source and summit of Christian life that they may relive and re-experience the dynamism of how it feels to be loved by Jesus…become messengers of hope of the resurrection of Jesus.” “Do not scare people like ‘Lucia Joaquin,’ but attract people, yes win people for Christ,” Advincula said.
