I love the young people of this church.

I love it when we gather together.

I love to see their happiness, which reaches me.

I love the way they praise, their readiness to serve and their creativity to innovate.

I love their laughter and the noise they make when they are together.

I love the attentive way they listen to us while we teach them.

I love to see them struggling, making some more effort in order not to fall.

Their intensity in everything they do makes me believe they are a power, shows me they are light and are willing to make big changes.

The way they get back on their feet makes me forget their moments of discouragement, inconstancy and failure.

The word of God tells me they are strong and that evil is intimidated by them, for on their innermost part, they have embraced the message that can change the world around us: the everlasting Word of God.

That's why I go on, preaching and teaching them the way, not losing heart.

I love the God who loves them unconditionally.

I love you, young people.
