kind we thank you for her amen please join in this beautiful hymn it's called o mother bless whom god bestows together join in the singing foreign [Music] is [Music] oh [Music] oh foreign [Music] oh [Music] oh [Music] please [Music] today we reflect on the youths being the young apostles of the world a very important role in the bible we see many examples of youth serving the lord directly at a young age we see prophets jeremiah and samuel starting very early in their ministry we even see the youngest apostle john serving jesus directly in building up the early church and so today our youths are actually discouraged to participate in preaching because of the same issues our young apostles and prophets of old faced lack of interest rejection and people just saying that god and religion are not a part of our daily lives and have no relevance at all and so they would ask us the youths and the adults will ask us what is the point in preaching when our words don't reach how can we preach effectively and i asked this exact same question to my youth leader many years ago and he answered very simply to preach effectively you have to just do it yes you have to have body and live out the word of god and live on what jesus used to tell us 2000 years ago and those are many two things these two commandments which are love the lord your god with all your heart mind and soul love your neighbor as you love yourself now that why these things matter is because these embody the catholic way of life the christian way of life and other people are very interested in results they want to see something happen they don't want to hear you say something can happen very result-oriented people and so when you follow the first commandment you are already going to church you're having prayers at home with your family your friends or whoever will help you pray you're relying on god you're praying to him to get you through daily challenges daily questions and when you practice the second commandment you are helping spread god's love and kindness to other people outreach programs soup kitchens your own community your own friends your own family so when these things are being practiced and when you go to preach people will notice these things and they will ask you because they may be saying facing the same similar issues what is your recipe for success and this is very much related to the youth because the youth are in a development phase they're struggling to find their identity sometimes they have a lot of questions they deal with a lot of negative experiences while finding their identities and so they are sometimes without the guidance of elders or the guardians of their friends who may be on a different path than them and when they see a member of the youth like you practicing this word of god practicing the life of jesus and you're dealing with the same issues as they are and coming out on top they will be instantly asking you how do you do it man how do you do it girl you know they will be asking you these questions and that's when you can show them and tell them how do you do it and that's the one of the best ways the youth can be instruments of god's word by embodying it simply by doing it you achieve a lot but where are these young apostles of the world where are you some parishes have no use to help out well many reasons why they might have left but one big reason is because the youths are attracted by christian denominations having more hands-on and spiritually based activities for them our youths are very into spirituality which is why some of them are drawn to very dangerous things sometimes like drugs and etc and so we need to follow the example of our christian brothers and sisters and do the same thing revive our youth ministries bring back the prison worship sessions bring back the camps the youth retreats bring back the huge sports teams any sport that your parish plays bring it back these are things that can be done to attract the youth so that they can learn about god a little more and the best way to reach out to youth or the best way to get you to participate in your activities is to use the media a central part of a huge life pretty much 24 7 are things like twitch streams youtube channels instagram and tech talks and with the church using these platforms by having uh you know informational videos on youtube by having podcasts or forums on twitch by doing 60 second videos about fun facts about the church faith and life on tick tock you will be reaching out to a vast majority of youth that many people would not know are using these platforms on a daily basis so youth leaders any one of you who are trying to reach out and establish your movement once again do not wait for your youth to come to you go to your youth because your youth need to know what can the catholic church do for them to join us to be a part of our community god bless we turn to mary in faith and pray them memorary remember most gracious virgin mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection implored your help and sought your intercession was left unaided inspired with his confidence i fly unto you a virgin of virgins my mother to you i come before you i stand sinful and sorrowful o mother of the word incarnate despite not my petitions but in your mercy hear an answer me amen let's remember the sick children especially those who have not been vaccinated in this special prayer for the sick lord jesus christ you bore our sufferings and carried our sorrows hear our prayers for the sick help
