Christus Vivit, "Christ Lives"

In his fourth apostolic exhortation, Pope Francis has written a personal, readable letter to young people (ages 16-30). The concepts from the document flow from the October 2018 synod on "youth, faith, and vocational discernment." We present both a summary and the full document here.

Open or download a pdf of the full, original document Christus Vivit.

To get a sense of the overall document in a short 7-page summary (instead of the 48 page original), see this article by Sister Nathalie Becquart, X.M.C.J.
