The title of this letter is: ’Christus Vivit” - “Christ is Alive” The Pope states that “Christ brings youth to the world, and everything he touches becomes young.” While the letter is written to and for youth, it is for all who wish to be instilled with a spirituality which is energized, sincere and desiring. A few paragraphs will be printed each week until the entire document has been delivered. Below are paragraphs 56 - 64 (continuation of highlighting specific youth saints) Saint Dominic Savio offered all his sufferings to Mary. When Saint John Bosco taught him that holiness involves being constantly joyful, he opened his heart to a contagious joy. He wanted to be close to the most abandoned and infirm of his fellow young people. Dominic died in 1857 at fourteen years of age, saying: “What a wondrous thing I am experiencing!” Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus was born in 1873. At fifteen years of age, having overcome many difficulties, she succeeded in entering the Carmelite convent. Thérèse lived the little way of complete trust in the Lord’s love and determined to fan with her prayers the fire of love burning in the heart of the Church. Blessed Ceferino Namuncurá was a young Argentinian, the son of the chief of a remote tribe of indigenous peoples. He became a Salesian seminarian, filled with the desire to return to his tribe, bringing Jesus Christ to them. Ceferino died in 1905. Blessed Isidore Bakanja was a layman from the Congo who bore witness to his faith. He was tortured at length for having proposed Christianity to other young people.

Together with the lay martyrs from Uganda, we look forward towards the forthcoming Assembly of the African Synod of Bishops. In his message for the occasion, the Holy Father reminded us of the three key words - contemplation, communion and mission - which John Paul II entrusted to CA at Loreto in 2004. He also referred to the “programme” which Paul VI presented to CA laypeople, precisely in Namugongo in 1969 and which is still relevant today.

International Journal of Cultural Policy is available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10286632.2010.54472 6 STRATEGIC CANONIZATION: SANCTITY, POPULAR CULTURE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH Oliver Bennett Abstract In his twenty-seven year reign (1978-2005), Pope John Paul II created not only more saints than any other pope in history, but also more saints than all the other popes put together since Pope Urban VIII centralised control of saint-making in 1634. This article argues that the elevation of ‘celebrity saints’, such as Padre Pio and Mother Theresa, can be seen as an attempt on the part of the Catholic Church to strengthen its presence within the arena of popular culture. Through a sustained programme of ‘strategic canonization’, John Paul II promoted models of sanctity that conveyed very clear social and political messages.
