From the beginning, evangelization of young people through young people, marks the preferential option of the Spirit for them, in the Work. We are protagonists of a new culture, and witnesses of the Life of the Gospel.
|
The Movement of the Word of God creates an atmosphere where young people can build up a lifestyle according to Christ's Gospel. Thus, while we are studying or working, we live as disciples, in our work or profession, in family or consecrated life. We feel we are responding to the call of Vatican II: |
|
"The most holy council earnestly entreats all the laity in the Lord to answer gladly, nobly, and promptly the more urgent invitation of Christ in this hour and the impulse of the Holy Spirit. Younger persons should feel that this call has been directed to them especially and they should respond to it eagerly and generously. The Lord renews His invitation to all the laity to come closer to Him every day, recognizing that what is His is also their own, to associate themselves with Him in His saving mission" (Apostolicam Actuositatem, 33).
|
In the Movement, from the beginning we tried "to present young people with the living Christ, as the only Savior, so that being evangelized, they evangelize in time and contribute with a loving response to Christ, to the integral liberation of man and society, leading a life of communion and participation" (DP 1166). |
