« Lève-toi : car je t’établis témoin des choses que tu as vues ! » (cf. Ac 26,16)

 Chers jeunes !

Je voudrais vous prendre une fois encore par la main afin de poursuivre ensemble le pèlerinage spirituel qui nous conduit vers la Journée Mondiale de la Jeunesse de Lisbonne en 2023.

L’année dernière, peu avant la propagation de la pandémie, j’avais signé le message dont le thème était “Jeune, je te le dis, lève-toi” (cf Lc 7, 14). Dans sa providence, le Seigneur voulait déjà nous préparer pour le défi très dur que nous étions sur le point de vivre.

Dans le monde entier, il a fallu affronter la souffrance de la perte de tant de personnes chères et de l’isolement social. La crise sanitaire a empêché, vous aussi les jeunes – projetés par nature vers l’extérieur –, de sortir pour aller à l’école, à l’université, au travail, de vous rencontrer…  Vous vous êtes retrouvés dans des situations difficiles que vous n’aviez pas l’habitude de gérer. Ceux qui étaient moins préparés et sans soutien se sont sentis désorientés. Dans de nombreux cas des problèmes familiaux sont apparus, ainsi que le chômage, la dépression, la solitude et les dépendances. Sans parler du stress accumulé, des tensions et des explosions de colère, de l’augmentation de la violence.

Mais Dieu merci, ceci n’est pas l’unique face de la médaille. Si l’épreuve nous a montré nos fragilités, elle a aussi fait ressortir nos vertus parmi lesquelles la prédisposition à la solidarité. Partout dans le monde nous avons vu de nombreuses personnes, y compris de nombreux jeunes, lutter pour la vie, semer l’espérance, défendre la liberté et la justice, être artisans de paix et bâtisseurs de ponts.

Quand un jeune tombe, c’est, en un certain sens, l’humanité qui tombe. Mais il est aussi vrai que quand un jeune se relève, c’est comme si le monde entier se relevait. Chers jeunes, quel grand potentiel se trouve entre vos mains ! Quelle force vous portez dans vos cœurs !  ..........

“YOUNG PEOPLE, THE FAITH AND VOCATIONAL DISCERNMENT” - PRE-SYNODAL MEETING

SYNOD OF BISHOPS
XV ORDINARY GENERAL ASSEMBLY
“YOUNG PEOPLE, THE FAITH AND VOCATIONAL DISCERNMENT”
PRE-SYNODAL MEETING
Rome, 19-24 March 2018
Document

INTRODUCTION
The young person of today is met with a host of external and internal challenges and opportunities, many of which are specific to their individual contexts and some of which are shared across continents. In light of this, it is necessary for the Church to examine the way in which it thinks about and engages with young people in order to be an effective, relevant and life-giving guide throughout their lives.
This document is a synthesized platform to express some of our thoughts and experiences. It is important to note that these are the reflections of young people of the 21st century from various religious and cultural backgrounds. With this in mind, the Church should view these reflections not as an empirical analysis of any other time in the past, but rather as an expression of where we are now, where we are headed and as an indicator of what she needs to do moving forward.
It is important at the outset to clarify the parameters of this document. It is neither to compose a theological treatise, nor is it to establish new Church teaching. Rather, it is a statement reflecting the specific realities, personalities, beliefs and experiences of the young people of the world. This document is destined for the Synodal Fathers. This is to give the Bishops a compass, pointing towards a clearer understanding of young people: a navigational aid for the upcoming Bishops’ Synod on “Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment” in October 2018. It is important that these experiences be viewed and understood according to the various contexts in which young people are situated.
These reflections were borne out of the meeting of more than 300 young representatives from around the world, convened in Rome March 19-24, 2018 at the inaugural Pre-Synodal Meeting of Young People and the participation of 15,000 young people engaged online through the Facebook groups.
The document is understood as a summary of all of our participants’ input based on the work of 20 language groups and 6 from social media. This will be one source, among others, that will contribute to the Instrumentum Laboris for the Synod of Bishops 2018. It is our hope that the Church and other institutions can learn from the process of this Pre-Synodal Meeting and listen to the voices of young people.
Understanding this, we can therefore move forward to explore with openness and faith where the young person is situated today, where the young person sees his or herself in relation to others, and how we as the Church can best accompany young people towards a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. ...
