Religious Vocations in the West: What can be done to increase vocations among the youth?

by Rome Reports, February 25, 2015

“Christ expects great things from young people….Young people in every situation. In every place and region of the world, do not cease to put questions to Christ... they meet Him and they keep searching for him in order to question him further. If they succeed in following the road which He points out to them they will have the joy of making their own contribution to His presence in the next century and in the centuries to come until the end of time—JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER!”

—Pope John Paul II
