Hekima Review No. 58 (May 2018)

In October this year, the Church gathered in Rome for the “Synod on Youth.” In the Preparatory Document released last year ahead of the Synod, “Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment,” Pope Francis points out two goals at the heart of the Synod. First, accompaniment – to help the church “examine herself on how she can lead young people to accept the call to fullness of life and love;” and second, renewal - “to ask young people to help her in identifying the most effective ways to announce the good news today.”
