Youth is a marvelous gift from God, but it is not easy being young today. There are many temptations and distractions that rob young people of the happiness of their early years. Their lives are threatened by drugs, violence, and despair.
Young people are a vital part of our families and society.
If you are an adult, try to listen seriously to young people's ideas and opinions. They offer a new and fresh perspective on life. If you are a young person, enjoy the freedom that is yours. It is a gift from God. Try to channel your independence, your talents, and your enthusiasm into service for others.
