Christ wants the lights of youth to spread beyond just us. The Holy Spirit keeps our lights lit, and we cannot hide the lights of our youth in dark- ness because Christ calls us as youth to work for God and the Church needs us to share our gifts. “You are ready for what Christ wants of you now,” Pope John Paul II said. “He wants you—all of you—to be light to the world, as only young people can be light. It is time to let your light shine.” † (Abby Colich is a mem- ber of St. Mark Parish in Indianapolis and is a junior at Perry Meridian High School.) The Criterion Friday, March 12, 1999 Page 15

Select Guarantee Annuity issued by USG Annuity & Life Company®. Rates subject to change. Minimum Guaranteed rate after the initial period is 3%. If a withdrawal or full surrender exceeds the penalty-free amount in any policy year, a surrender charge will be deducted and a Market Value Adjustment applied to the full amount withdrawn. The surrender penalty will equal the surrender charge with an adjustment, either up or down, which reflects the relationship between an external index at issue and the external index on the date the withdrawal or surren- der is made and the length of time in the guarantee period.
