Many different speakers have said on many occasions that children are our hope for tomorrow and one of our greatest resources. He called them to Himself and stated that the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. He also goes on to say that whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. How true that our children are our greatest resources, our hope for tomorrow, and the reminder that Christ drew them into His everlasting love. Just take a look at the young people in our church and ponder their maturity as we watch them grow over the years.
Young people are alive with energy, enthusiasm and vitality.
They renew our energy level if we spend time in their presence. What a blessed community we have here at St. Clare to be surrounded by so many young people. As parents, we are entrusted with the awesome gift and responsibility to contribute to the spiritual development of our youth. However, it does take effort on the part of everyone in our parish community to make their dreams become realities. The upcoming year has many opportunities for our youth to get to know one another and to increase their spiritual growth.
