3. A spirit of Audacity: Gideon (Jg 6), the young Jewish servant girl Speaks.... (2 Kings 5) and young Ruth (Ru 4) symbolise the courage of the youth, their frankness and their valour in questioning, in intervening and in accepting challenges. Their audacity bears fruit not just for them but Biblical Inspirations for a Relevant Youth Spirituality also for their families and their communities. While the scripture insists on a spirit of obedience and respect for the elders and the traditions, it Dear brothers and sisters in Christ , does not advocate a spirit of slavery. When our youth question, critique and evaluate existing norms, dogmas, doctrines and values, they enter As 2020 dawns, I extend my prayerful greetings and blessings to into a dialogue between our past and their present. The result of this each of you and your families for a grace-filled and prosperous year dialogue will become evident in their faith and in the fruitfulness of ahead. In the light of the reflections of Christus vivit, the Post-Synodal their discipleship. The courage of the youth is not a threat to our Apostolic Exhortation published by our Holy Father Francis on traditions but a fruitful process of continued dialogue. 25th March 2019, the Church in has consecrated the year 2020 as the Year of the Youth. As mentioned in my message last month, The challenges facing the children and youth of our country I propose to reflect with you on the youth. are truly alarming. Political ideologies that seek to divide, exclude and polarise threaten the secular fabric of our nation. Recent legislations The first chapter of Christus vivit invites us to consider a few biblical like the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship models and passages that can help us draw the basic elements of the Amendment Act (CAA) have evoked serious concerns and widespread spirituality of youth today. In this regard, we can identify three major protests across the nation. We, the members of the Archdiocesan elements from the reflections of the Holy Father: family, reiterate our stand against divisive politics and the exclusion of any human person in the name of religion, race, etc., In this context, 1. A Radical Openness to : the young dreamer the message of Christus vivit inspires the youth and each of us to muster (Gen 37), King (1 Sam 16), the eager young man (Matt 19) and in us a spirit of audacity in defending the constitution, a strong will for the group of wise young women (Matt 25) demonstrate an active a fresh narrative of inclusive politics and a radical openness to God in interest in responding to the Call of God. When God chose to reveal midst of our struggle for a united and secular . Himself to them, they open their hearts and lives to a profound experience with the one who chooses them. In an age when the young May Child Jesus and the Blessed Mother inspire us to march people were not highly regarded, God sets out in search for them. He ahead in this struggle with a fervent hope in God’s promises and a chooses them to make of them signs of his love, his power and his strong faith in His providential presence. plan. This is an important element that we need to focus on in our mission for the youth today. Our mission is to help them encounter With prayerful wishes, God. In their radical openness to His call, the youth of our age, shall discover their real identity, their true value and their mission.

2. A strong will to start anew: The examples of + Most Rev Dr George Antonysamy (1 Sam 6), (Jer 1), the younger son (Luke 15), the rich young Archbishop of Madras-Mylapore man (Mark 10), St Paul (Col 3), St Augustin and the son of the widow (Luk 7) witness to the strong will of youngsters in taking up God’s Announcement challenge for a new start. God effects in them a change of heart and a  transformation in their lifestyle from their ‘older selves’ to their ‘younger selves’.
