| dc.description.abstract | A young person is the future of tomorrow: He or she is the parent and the leader; and at the same time, he or she is considered to be the Church of tomorrow; yet he or she manifests gradual classism in his or her daily undertakings. In essence, this tends to derail the Mission of God among the younger generation. Is the society bringing up a generation that will remain passive in the Mission and Apostolates as far as the local church is concerned? Looking at the scriptures, and especially in Lk 5: 37-39, “Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilt, and the skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. And no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is good’.” The young people in most cases find themselves living in isolation from the worshipping Community. The antagonism is real: The philosophers against theologians, the old against the new, the rich against the poor, men against women, the younger generation against the older generation and vice-versa. Let us consider the new wine to be the young people in the parish set-up. The youth are the carriers of the Gospel of Christ to the entire local church, which in this case, is the parish. Hence, the great need for renewal and empowerment of the young persons in the church has to be taken seriously. | |
