The importance of being an example of holiness and virtue to young people is so vital to the future of our Church. We talk about the beautiful example in the short life of Blessed Carlo Acutis and a return to the Eucharistic reverence in our own spiritual lives. Let's never give up on our youth and challenge them to live a life of holiness and virtue. It can be done, look at Blessed Carlo Acutis!
