Message for Youth

In a "Message to Youth", the bishops of United States expressed their esteem and respect for young people in whom they "see the face of God". Calling on young people to recognize their own value, the bishops said, "You are made in the image and likeness of God. You are loved by God and others!"

Out of this great love, in which you will soon be confirmed by the Holy Spirit, comes action. Here are seven actions the Church asks young people to undertake as witness to Christ:

• work for justice
• treat others with respect
• share your time and talents
• be a healer when conflict arises
• help friends do the right thing
• befriend youth who are lonely
• value those who are different

The bishops added, "We're not saying it will be easy. You may be misunderstood and even ridiculed at times but you will never be alone. Christ and the Christian community walk with you."
