Youth, Future and Faith
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 4
Abstract
In Western countries, youth and faith don’t seem to be close to each other. “Sixties Protests” might be seen as the starting point of this phenomenon, being the turning point that caused the youth averted from the Catholic Church. At the same time, it brought the need of the promotion of Christian education and the care about youth from the side of the Catholic Church. The article, under its educational proposal, reasons how important it is to help young people to discover the Christian faith as essential to their life, especially in order to become free and to look positively at the future. Faith and future are related closely one to the other. In fact, to become free doesn’t necessarily mean to have possibility to choose from many options, we are free only when we choose good. This attitude involves the ability to preserve one’s own life, but it is possible only if someone does not only take each day as it comes, but he or she can see their future in front. Christian faith is essential for a human, particularly young, in order to recognize that there is actually the future even if life is uncertain as it happens today, because the Christian God is “the one who is and who was and who is to come” (Revelation 1:8). For this reason, to believe in Jesus means to be motivated to preserve themselves.
