  • Praying with Young People
    Praying with young people Young people can often find the act of praying a challenge. Their world can be so full and loud with the variety of activities they take on outside of their formal education. Therefore, enabling young people to find time and space to pray, and helping them to see the value of stillness and prayer is an important aspect of their formation as young Christians. As Cardinal Basil Hume says in his book, ‘To be a Pilgrim’, “One of the best definitions of prayer is the one in the catechism: “Prayer is the raising of the mind and the heart to God”. Better perhaps to say: Prayer is trying to raise our hearts and minds to God.” To be aware of themselves, of God and to connect in their own way by making the considered decision to try and pray are key to establishing a prayer life. The desire for their own sacred space: Young people can often desire their own space in which to pray. Some maybe self-conscious in large group situations where they feel forced to contribute or pray a certain way. Encouraging young people to find their own ‘sacred space’ is key to enabling them to be still, be aware and connect with God. The desire for security and regularity: Young people can often feel more secure in a regular group setting such as a parish youth group. Being with their peers with a common cause or aim can help them feel part of that community and connected to God through the cause or prayer.

  • Climate Action Call
    Scientists say that we face a climate emergency. We need decisive action in the next 10 years to put us on a transformative pathway in line with the targets of the Paris Agreement, including efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. We must act immediately to get on track for a healthy, fair and liveable future. This will not only reduce devastating impacts of climate change but also bring major economic and social benefits, attract new investments, create new quality jobs and limit health damages. The European Parliament elections and subsequent changes in the leadership of the European Commission will shape the politics of the European Union for the next five years, a crucial period for climate action where emissions need to decline fast, targets need to be strengthened and ambitious action needs to be implemented. The new Parliament and the new Commission must address growing concerns about climate change and make climate action a top priority for Europe. Therefore, we call upon the new European Parliament, the new European Commission and all EU Member State governments to: 1. Commit to accelerate actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net zero emissions as soon as possible. The world is not on track to keep temperature rise to 1.5°C. We support the call from United Nations Secretary General ​António Guterres​, upon all leaders to come to his special UN Climate Summit in September with additional commitments that will lead to halving global emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. By the Summit, EU leaders ​should agree ​to reach climate neutrality in line with the EU’s fair share of the effort to achieve net zero global emissions by 2050.

    Draft Programme Catholic Youth Convention on the Future of Europe: ‘Our Dream of Europe’ Series of 3 online events | 3 – 10 – 17 June 2021 #TheFutureIsYours In the context of the Conference on the Future of Europe, the contribution of young people is fundamental to consolidate European democracy and to meet ecological, digital and inclusive transitions while recovering from the COVID-19 crisis. This is why COMECE, the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the EU, invites young people to design a future for the EU that matches their dreams, in line with Pope Francis’ message for Europe. The Catholic Youth Convention will bring together over 100 young Catholics, delegated by the Bishops’ Conferences of the EU and by the COMECE Youth Platform. Together, and throughout a series of webinars, they will reflect and formulate concrete proposals on three main thematic areas: the Just Social Recovery, the Ecological and Digital transitions and Democracy and European values. The results will be fed into the Conference proceedings. Each webinar will consist of an inspirational keynote speech on the respective thematic area and a 10-minute contribution from two experts. After that, participants will be asked to participate in a 45-minute session to exchange in working groups and to formulate proposals. 1) Just social recovery: Building a Europe of solidarity and fraternity Thursday 3 June 2021, 5:00-7:00 pm 17:00-17:05: Welcome • H.Em.
