METHODOLOGICAL NOTES
• A dynamic material
This document is designed for young people, groups of young people who wish to enter into the adventure of reflecting on their vocation and their missionary discipleship as young Christians, both outside and inside the Church, in the light of Christus Vivit.
It contains visual and musical resources to energise all the chapters, thus achieving a greater result in each one of them.
• Dynamics of each chapter
Each chapter corresponds to its counterpart in the exhortation, having the following simple structure:
Contents
It offers a simple and summarized proposal of the contents of the chapter, avoiding a theoretical exhibition and focusing on a visual and attractive proposal.
Resources of the theme
We offer some musical and visual proposals to energize the chapter with the youth's own resources, using examples of young people trying to bring to their lives some aspect of what was discussed in the chapter.
‘You are the NOW of God’ consists of:
Pastoral tools through videos and testimonies about young people living in line with what is discussed in each chapter.
Music resources, for meetings, in English and Spanish.
Meeting in groups: This is the moment where we deepen our reflection on the chapter, proposing a group meeting, accessible and close, with questions. We will use, for this purpose, the dynamic of the revision of life: See, Judge and Act, or as Francis has renamed it:
Recognise, Interpret and Choose.
The aim of this part is to seek dialogue and reflection on the lives of young people, inviting them to listen to the calls of God and to know how to respond with concrete commitments in their lives, seeking to transform their environments and society in
general.
You… are the Now of God
ACT – Be (a) missionary: This is the last part of the chapter, where we invite the group of young people to take a group commitment in a missionary key.
Young people must change the world "by walking together".
• Invitation to collaboration
This text is a dynamic tool, it is the first version, dated July 4, online.
We are waiting for your comments, your criticisms, and your suggestions for a next version or even for later versions that could deal with one or more chapters of CV.
