Is There Really Hope in the Young, Principle Five of Seven

This is the fifth of a series of seven principles for Catholic educators based on the words and actions of John Paul II as he conveyed in Crossing the Threshold of Hope.

As a young priest and pastor I came to this way of looking at young people and at youth, and it has remained constant all these years. Anywhere the Pope goes, he seeks out the young and the young seek him out. Actually, in truth, it is not the Pope who is being sought out at all. The one being sought but is Christ, who knows “that which is in every man” (cf. Jn 2:25), especially in a young person, and who can give true answers to his questions!

Principle Five for Catholic Educators:  Understand and nurture that the one being sought out by your students is Christ, who can give true answers to his/her questions.
