Be the spreaders of the Lord's Resurrection good news! The message of ACYOWorld Spiritual Rector

Dear ACYOWorld young people,

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ

Christ is risen from the dead. The Lord of the Resurrection is risen from the dead. By his death he conquered death. He erased the promissory note of Adam's sin. From now on let us be mournful only in the event of our spiritual death. Let us do everything possible not to be deprived of the Lord's resurrection and renewal.

Youth is the prime of life, and the idea of death is alien to it. Our Lord Jesus Christ was also young when he endured terrible torments on the cross and, for the salvation of young people like you, he tasted death.

Beloved, give a meaning to the years, the days, and the hours of your youth according to the commandments of the Lord; and do not be carried away with carelessness as if you are still young and life is still before you! Hate sin and consider yourself dead to sin, as the Apostle Paul says: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me:(Galatians 2:20).

Beloved, let Christ dwell in your persons, not sin. May Christ be glorified by your deeds! "The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. (Luke 10:2)

Be the laborers of the Lord's harvest, dear young people. Use your God-given gifts/graces generously. Be the spreaders of the good news of the Resurrection of the Lord, bring to life the desperate hearts with the Tiding of the Resurrection and rejoice, when in response to the Tiding you have given, you hear:

"Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ!"
