Christus vivit ⑪sanctity is a young flower
(2019.11.19 Vatican News)
One year after the Synod on young people, Catholic youth from around the world engage with “Christus vivit”, Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation, which reminds us that it doesn’t take many years to become a saint. Francis of Assisi and Joan of Arc were young, as were Kateri Tekakwitha and Pier Giorgio Frassati. 24-year-old Chiara Van Voorst tot Voors is inspired by the story of another young person; Blessed Chiara Badano.
