To be living branches in the vineyard of the Church means above all to be in living communion with Christ the vine. In the vine is the source of their life. Likewise, in Baptism, each one of us was grafted onto Christ, and received the free gift of new life. To be living branches, you must live this reality of your Baptism, deepening every day your communion with the Lord by listening to His Word and obeying it, by participating in the Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and by speaking personally with Our Lord in prayer. We all share, according to our particular vocations, in the mission of Christ and of His Church.
Ecclesial communion is a missionary communion.
The Church needs many laborers. The Church is an organic communion, in which each one has his or her own place and his or her own task. You young people have also your own place, a very important one. So, place your youthful talents unreservedly at the service of the Church, with the generosity that is characteristic of your age. Take your place in the Church.
