\n\u201cVarious people who were following me on Instagram, they said, 'Look, these phrases that you're putting out there, we love them, but we'd like to know a little bit more. What's the reflection or experience that makes you come up with those phrases?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cYoung people have questions and the Church is actually answering those questions. And that will make the youth ask more questions. As a Church, we don't present the whole spiritual life to young people. I think we may stay on what they have to do to be a Catholic and not show them the complete fullness of the beauty of the faith, which is the interior meaning of the faith.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cIf there were 40 thoughts that I wanted to share with young people, these were them. I guess you could say there were a couple of themes that I'm going around. The first is virtue, the other would be holiness, you could say another is motivation and then there's also a couple of tools that I try to give young people.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
