St. Josemaria Institute Celebrates World Youth Day 2011
The St. Josemaria Institute is happy to announce the launch of a special webpage celebrating World Youth Day 2011, Young People, and St. Josemaria Escriva!
The webpage features simple, straight to the point resources drawn from the teachings of St. Josemaria Escriva that we hope will inspire young people, parents, and youth leaders to grow in a deeper commitment to being a better Catholic, a better person:
- Top 10 tips before/after World Youth Day
- Video clips of St. Josemaria Escriva meeting with young people
- Handbook of Prayers - Student Edition
The webpage will be updated through the end of the year with more news and testimonies from World Youth Day and youth initiatives around the globe. Everyone is welcome to share WYD photos, essays, artwork, and testimonies with the friends of St. Josemaria!
"You have become younger! You notice, in fact, that getting to know God better has made you regain in a short time the uncomplicated and happy age of your youth, including the security and joy — without any childishness — of spiritual childhood... You look around, and you realize that the same thing has happened to others: the years since they met with the Lord have gone by and, having reached maturity, they are strengthened with a permanent youth and happiness. They don't look young. They are young and cheerful! This reality of the interior life, attracts, confirms and wins over souls. Give thanks for it daily ad Deum qui laetificat iuventutem — to God who fills your youth with joy."
- St. Josemaria (Furrow, Point 79)
