With the demise of the Church and the denigration of ideals the only message young people hear is "work harder" and seek fame and wealth.
This purely materialistic approach does not bring happiness.
And so many young people have no meaning in their lives.
Much is expected of them but they are given little or no support.
This has resulted in a crisis of mental health among young people.
Many live alone and claim to have few or no friends.
What is needed is a people-centered approach.
An approach that puts people before profit.
Most young people are exploited in the workplace.
And owning their own house seems out of reach.
So what do they have to live for?
They go to clubs and venues to meet people where they are bombarded with negative messages and examples.
They are tempted with alcohol and drugs.
And their role models are evil.
They need love.
And they need to learn how to love.
But who will teach them?
Who will show them how?
My prayer is that God will find ways to show them the path of Love.
And save them from the evils of the world.
