"My dear young people, you too offer to the Lord the gold of your lives, namely, your freedom to follow Him out of love, responding faithfully to His call; let the incense of your fervent prayer rise up to him, in praise of His glory; offer Him your myrrh, that is your affection of total gratitude to Him, true Man, who loved us to the point of dying as a criminal on Golgotha." - Pope John Paul II "Message to the Youth at the 20th WYD"
" If Christ is presented to young people as he really is, they experience him as an answer that is convincing and they can accept his message, even when it is demanding and bears the mark of the Cross. For this reason, in response to their enthusiasm, I did not hesitate to ask them to make a radical choice of faith and life and present them with a stupendous task: to become "morning watchmen" (cf. Is 21:11-12) at the dawn of the new millennium. " - Pope John Paul II "Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Ineunte"
"Moved by this awareness, the Christian community has taken significant steps in the use of the means of communication for religious information, for evangelization and catechesis, for the formation of pastoral workers in this area, and for the education to a mature responsibility of the users and the recipients of the various communications media." - John Paul II "Apostolic Letter on the Rapid Devolment"
It is our mission as stated above to take hold of the new technology (i.e. internet) and use it as a means of reaching out. We are three young people who are completely devoted to our faith! We all love Jesus Christ with our whole hearts! We want to present Christ as he is to people of our own age. We want to help other teenagers become aware of their relationship to Christ through the Eucahrist and the Church. We all write our blogs but on top of that, we live our lives as an example everyday. When people see three young people such as oursleves living out their faith and trying to make the correct moral decisions, they are touched and inspired to do the same. We also constantly answer questions that are sent to us via email. Please pray for our ministry.
