The document provides an overview of the St. John Fisher Lenten Mission taking place on April 5-6, 2006 in Richmond, Texas. It discusses the purpose of providing a simple way to understand profound Christian mysteries and relate familiar elements of faith like liturgy and sacraments to God's works. It then summarizes the plan to examine Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Pentecost, relating them to God's works of Creation, Redemption, Sanctification and Glorification.
The document describes the author accepting Christ as his savior at age 13 after hearing a sermon. This decision changed his life for the better, as he was previously a school dropout who abused drugs and picked pockets. The author encourages the reader to make an important decision to accept Christ, noting that all have sinned but can be saved through faith in Jesus, who died for our sins. It provides a simple prayer for the reader to accept Christ by inviting him into their life.
The document contains several prayers and passages about prayer from various Christian traditions and authors. It explores how prayer can shape beliefs and perspectives over time. The prayers focus on trusting God's guidance, asking for strength and protection, and praising God's love and glory.
There Are No Big Decisions
Two weeks ago my friend Michael’s brother passed away. He was younger than us.
As one does after the death of a friend or loved one, I thought about my own demise. Or, maybe it’s just me that’s being macabre.
I realised that I’m living an illusion. I act as if I am going to live forever. And I misguidedly think that this gives me licence to mess about and surround myself with inconsequence and minutia.
Perhaps it would be useful to unpack death a little bit before I build an argument for living with intention and not meandering around like a brainless Amoeba.
“I know, I know”, we don’t like talking about our own mortality.
But, let’s play a bit and give death a form.
Imagine that death is an entity that walks just out of your vision, behind your left shoulder. It’s ok, you can look over your shoulder and if you look really carefully (squint your eyes), you may just see him. He is a faithful companion and is always with you … every second of your existence.
One day he’ll come forward and tap you on your shoulder and whisper gently into your ear, “It’s time.”
It can be now, tomorrow or at a later date. You and I don’t know when the tap will come.
And, when you are called, reflect on the moment just before the tap. Were you doing your best work? Were you awesome? Were you living your passion? Were you grateful? Were you the best version of yourself? Was that a moment of intent and purpose?
Because we don’t know when we’ll be tapped, every moment should be lived with intent, purpose and awe.
That’s why there are no big or small decisions. There are just decisions. And, every decision is important. We should make the decision to live awake and with intent, and we should strive to make every moment, including our last, a masterpiece.
Because we never know, when we’ll be tapped on the shoulder as he gently whispers, “It’s time?”

9. It is the love of the Lord, a daily, discreet and

redeemed by the precious blood of Christ! ! CV 122

so that you can grow in his love, his life and his power. CV 130
26. Do you need love? You will not find it in dissipation,
using other people, or trying to be possessive or domineering.

a much more beautiful and meaningful way, if you let yourself be prompted by the Holy Spirit.CV 131

A time of dreams and decisions
A thirst for life and experience
In friendship with Christ
Growth in maturity
Paths of fraternity

Courageous missionaries
29. “To be young is a grace, a blessing”.
It is a gift that we can squander meaninglessly,
or receive with gratitude and live to the full. CV 134
31. . At this stage in life, the young are called
to move forward without cutting
themselves off from their roots, to build
autonomy but not in solitude”. CV 137
32. San Agustín decía: «Señor, nos creaste para ti, y nuestro corazón está inquieto,
hasta que descanse en ti» CV 138
33. Young people have so much strength;
they are able to look ahead with hope. A young person is a promise
of life that implies a certain degree of tenacity. CV 139
34. Young people make decisions in professional, social and political fields,
and in other more radical ways that determine the shape of their lives”.
35. They also make decisions about love,
choosing a spouse and starting a family CV 140
36. Jesus is the way: welcome him into your ‘boat’ and put out into the deep!
He is the Lord! He changes the way we see life. Faith in Jesus leads to greater hope,
to a certainty based not on our qualities and skills, but on the word of God,
on the invitation that comes from him. CV 141
37. Avoid the paralysis of the living dead, who have no life
because they are afraid to take risks, to make mistakes
or to persevere in their commitments. CV 142

your youth. Don’t observe life from a balcony.

of life’s little joys as gifts of God’s love. CV 147

“to live the present moment, filling it to the brim with love”. CV 148

no further hope of salvation. It is a paradox, but for many Christians,
suffering and darkness have become… places of encounter with God”. CV 149.
48. Faithful friends,
who stand at our
side in times of
difficulty, are also
a reflection of
the Lord’s love,
his gentle and
consoling presence
in our lives. CV 151
49. Friendship is
no fleeting or
temporary relationship,
but one that is stable,
firm and faithful, and
matures with the
passage of time,
a relationship of
affection that brings us
together and a generous
love that makes us seek
the good of our friend.
CV 152
50. Friendship is so important that Jesus calls himself a friend:
“I do not call you servants any longer, but I call you friends” (Jn 15:15). CV 153
51. Friendship with Jesus cannot be broken. He never leaves us, even though at times it appears
that he keeps silent. When we need him, he makes himself known to us (cf. Jer 29:14);
he remains at our side wherever we go (cf. Jos 1:9)
He never breaks his covenant. He simply asks that we not abandon him:
“Abide in me” (Jn 15:4). But even if we stray from him,
“he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself” (2 Tim 2:13).CV 154
52. With a friend, we can speak and share our deepest secrets. With Jesus too, we can always
have a conversation. Prayer is both a challenge and an adventure. CV 155
53. In this way, we can experience a constant closeness to him,
greater than anything we can experience with another person:
“It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” (Gal 2:20). CV 156
54. Jesus can bring all the young people of the Church together in a single dream,
“a great dream, a dream with a place for everyone. The dream for which Jesus
gave his life on the cross, for which the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day
of Pentecost and brought fire to the heart of every man and woman, CV 157
56. Many young people are concerned about their bodies,
trying to build up physical strength or improve their appearance. CV 158.
57. Others work to develop their talents and knowledge,
so as to feel more sure of themselves.
58. Some aim higher, seeking to become
more involved and to grow spiritually. CV 158
Along with all the other exciting things about youth,
there is also the beauty of seeking “righteousness,
faith, love and peace” (2 Tim 2:22). CV 159
59. At every moment in life, we can renew our youthfulness.
When I began my ministry as Pope, the Lord broadened
my horizons and granted me renewed youth. CV 160
60. Instead, let yourself be loved by God,
for he loves you just as you are.
He values and respects you,
but he also keeps offering you more:
more of his friendship,
more fervour in prayer,
more hunger for his word,
more longing to receive Christ in the Eucharist,
more desire to live by his Gospel,
more inner strength, more peace
and spiritual joy. CV 161
61. Saint John of the Cross,
who wrote in his Spiritual
Canticle that everyone
should benefit from his
spiritual advice “in his or
her own way”, for the one
God wishes to manifest his
grace “to some in one way
and to others in another”.
CV 161
63. Your spiritual growth is expressed above all by your growth in fraternal,
generous and merciful love. Saint Paul prayed: “May the Lord make you increase
and abound in love for one another and for all” (1 Thes 3:12).
How wonderful it would be to experience this “ecstasy” of coming out of ourselves
and seeking the good of others, even to the sacrifice of our lives. CV 163
64. why it is always better to live the faith together and to show our love
by living in community and sharing with other young people our affection,
our time, our faith and our troubles. CV 164
65. Hurts you have experienced might tempt you
to withdraw from others, to turn in on
yourself and to nurse feelings of anger,
but never stop listening to God’s
call to forgiveness. CV 165
66. Fraternal love multiplies our ability to experience joy, since it makes us
rejoice in the good of others: “Rejoice with those who rejoice,
weep with those who weep” (Rom 12:15). CV 167
68. the lay vocation is directed above all to charity within the family and to social and political charity.
It is a concrete and faith-based commitment to the building of a new society. It involves living in the midst
of society and the world in order to bring the Gospel everywhere, to work for the growth of peace,
harmony, justice, human rights and mercy, and thus for the extension of God’s kingdom in this world. CV 168
69. I ask young people to go beyond their small groups and to build
“social friendship, where everyone works for the common good.
70. Social enmity, on the other hand,
is destructive.
Families are destroyed by enmity.
Countries are destroyed by enmity.
The world is destroyed by enmity.
71. And the greatest enmity of all is war.
Today we see that the world is destroying itself by war…
So find ways of building social friendship”. CV 169
72. there are many others
who are ready to commit
themselves to initiatives
of volunteer work,
active citizenship
and social solidarity.
They need to be
accompanied and
encouraged to use
their talents and skills
creatively, and to be
encouraged to take
up their responsibilities.
CV 170
73. many young people in parishes, schools, movements and university groups
often go out to spend time with the elderly and the infirm, or to visit
poor neighbourhoods, or to meet people’s needs through “nights of charity”. CV 171
74. Other young people take part in social
programmes that build houses for the homeless,
or reclaim contaminated areas or offer various
kinds of assistance to the needy.
It would be helpful if this shared energy
could be channelled and organized in a more
stable way and with clear goals,
so as to be even more effective.
University students can apply their knowledge
in an interdisciplinary way, together with
young people of other churches or religions,
in order to propose solutions to social problems.
CV 172
75. Above all, in one way or another, fight for the common good, serve the poor,
be protagonists of the revolution of charity and service, capable of resisting
the pathologies of consumerism and superficial individualism. CV 174
77. “being an apostle does not mean wearing a lapel pin;
it is not about speaking about the truth but living it,
embodying it, being transformed in Christ.
Being an apostle does not mean carrying a torch in hand,
possessing the light, but being that light…
The Gospel, more than a lesson, is an example.
A message that becomes a life fully lived”. CV 175
78. Young people, do not let the world draw you only into things
that are wrong and superficial. Learn to swim against the tide,
learn how to share Jesus and the faith he has given you. CV 176
79. He invites us to be fearless missionaries wherever we are and in whatever company we find ourselves:
in our neighbourhoods, in school or sports or social life, in volunteer service or in the workplace.
Wherever we are, we always have an opportunity to share the joy of the Gospel. CV 177
80. Your youth is not an “in-between time”. You are the now of God, and he wants you
to bear fruit. For “it is in giving that we receive”. The best way to prepare a bright future
is to experience the present as best we can, with commitment and generosity. CV 178
81. CHAPTER SIX - Young people with roots
Don’t allow yourselves to be uprooted
Your relationship with the elderly
Dreams and visions
Taking risks together
83. That is how various
ideologies operate:
they destroy all differences
so that they can
reign unopposed.
To do so, however,
they need young people
who have no use for history,
who spurn the spiritual and
human riches inherited from
past generations, and are
ignorant of everything that
came before them. CV 181
84. These masters of manipulation also use another tactic: the cult of youth,
which dismisses all that is not young as contemptible and outmoded.
The youthful body becomes the symbol of this new cult; everything associated
with that body is idolized and lusted after, while whatever is not young is despised.
But this cult of youth is simply an expedient that ultimately proves degrading to the young;
it strips them of any real value and uses them for personal, financial or political profit. CV 182
85. there is beauty in the labourer who returns home grimy and unkempt,
but with the joy of having earned food for his family. CV 183
86. we are also witnessing attempts to promote a spirituality without God,
an affectivity without community or concern for those who suffer,
a fear of the poor, viewed as dangerous, and a variety of claims to offer
a future paradise that nonetheless seems increasingly distant. . CV 184
87. Today, in fact, we see a
tendency to “homogenize”
young people, blurring what
is distinctive about their
origins and backgrounds,
and turning them into a new
line of malleable goods.
This produces a cultural
devastation that is just as
serious as the disappearance
of species of animals and
plants. CV 186
89. The Bible also tells us: “Listen to your father who begot you, and do not despise your mother when
she is old” (Prov 23:22). The command to honour our father and mother “is the first commandment to
carry a promise with it” (Eph 6:2, cf. Ex 20:12; Deut 5:16; Lev 19:3), and that promise is:
“that it may be well with you and that you may live long on the earth” (Eph 6:3). CV 189
90. When intergenerational relationships exist, a collective memory is present in communities,
as each generation takes up the teachings of its predecessors and in turn bequeaths
a legacy to its successors. In this way, they provide frames of reference
for firmly establishing a new society. CV 191
92. “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams” (3:1; cf. Acts 2:17). CV 192
93. The very first dream of all is the creative dream of God our Father,
which precedes and accompanies the lives of all his children.
The memory of this blessing that extends from generation to
generation is a precious legacy that we should
keep alive so that we too can pass it on. CV 194
94. It is a beautiful thing when “young men and maidens together,
old men and children, praise the name of the Lord” (Ps 148:12-13). CV 196
96. When older people look at life closely, often they instinctively know
