I regard the time of peace as a time of preparation for victory. The soul must be ever watchful; watchfulness and again, watchfulness. The soul that reflects receives much light. A distracted soul runs the risk of a fall, and let it not be surprised when it does fall. • O Spirit of God, Director of the soul, wise is he whom You have trained! But for the Spirit of God to act in the soul, peace and recollection are needed. (Diary, 145) 💛💙❤️ Imagine 25,000 young people standing in silence adoring Jesus. That’s happening now at #NCYC 🙌🏼 The church’s job is to hand on the faith to the next generation. The youth of today face a battle like the world has never seen before. It’s our responsibility to teach them how to prepare for it and keep the victory Christ died to give them, and to lead them to the true food that will become their daily bread, which sustains them. • “No matter how much you live the experience of these years of your youth, you will never know their deepest and fullest meaning unless you encounter each day your best friend, the friend who is Jesus." -Pope Francis, Christus Vivit 150 ❤️⠀ There is true joy found in friendship with Christ, and that friendship begins with the desire to have a relationship with Him. Are you encountering Jesus every day as your best friend? • Be ever watchful. #EncounterLife #DivineMercy #33daystomercifullove #SaintFaustina #PopeFrancis https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Nda74Ak1v/?igshid=13cfffipudddz
