"Christ is alive!" proclaims the pope. Pope Francis's new Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit calls to "all Christian young people" and the People of God, including pastors and the faithful, and urges them to seek the youthful newness of life in Christ!

The pope proposes that youth engage the joy of a living God, the richness of their Catholic faith, and the strength of living in Christian community. He illuminates the Scriptures to give youth tangible hope and draw them more fully into the Church. And in a time of new technology and transformative social changes, the pope challenges youth to take the grounded path of generous sacrifice and faithful companionship with peers, family, neighbors, and elders.

Pope Francis knows committed and bold youth and young adults can change our world! He listened to youthful voices from all over the world during the synod on young people. Pope Francis now speaks full of the conviction that the youth will have great impact-and he challenges them to their best. The pope affirms the sacred time of youth as a time of dreams and decision, of maturity, courage, discernment, and valiant commitment. And he considers a plan for action that will take young people forward quickly, amid fears and hopes, into the work of a life with mission and purpose.

For the young and young at heart, this exhortation will stir all who read it to seek a newness of life in the promise of Christ's Resurrection. Christus Vivit is vital for youth and young adults, as they live out their vocation in the Church and their mission in the world. The exhortation is also an important read for pastors, parents, educators, families, youth and young adult ministries, and all Christian young people.

Tailored to their journey, it combines faith, practical wisdom, and the Church's teachings to support recovery and foster a deeper connection with God.

Scripture forms the foundation, providing divine truth to guide and sustain. Passages like Psalm 46:10 ("Be still and know that I am God") anchor readers in God's word, offering wisdom for life's challenges. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 131) calls Scripture a source of divine revelation, making it essential for understanding God's will.

Inspirational quotes, often from saints or Church fathers, bring this truth to life. A line from St. Augustine--"You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You"--can ignite hope and resolve. These voices from the Catholic tradition connect readers to the communion of saints, reinforcing their place in a timeless faith.

Prayer ties it all together, turning reflection into action. Whether a simple Our Father or a tailored petition, it opens a dialogue with God, fostering intimacy and trust. The CCC (2559) defines prayer as raising the heart to God, making it a daily lifeline.
