Worried that young people are coming to church for the wrong reasons? Nervous about the "Quiet Revival"? Well, er, okay.... but have you asked some young people why they are coming to church?

I did! And here's what they told me. 🧵

[Ninefold Kyrie @Gda1238]

I'm afraid we've moved on from a cozy Christianity such as listening to Evensong on the wireless. It's time to defend our glorious Faith and heritage.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!

[The Virtual Abbey @Virtual_Abbey]

Lord of all power and might
the author and giver of all good things:
Graft in our hearts
the love of your Name;
increase in us true religion;
nourish us with all goodness;
and bring forth in us
the fruit of good works;
through Jesus Christ our Lord…

Amen.

[Pascal @KnowsPascal]

A single ‘Blessed be God’ in adversity is better than six thousand acts of thanksgiving in prosperity.

It is such a folly to pass one’s time fretting, instead of resting quietly in the Heart of Jesus…

[Jacob Perkins 🕯✨ @episcoperkins]

Transmute our souls, and rest within;
Dispel the night of worldly sin,
And let each day's accomplished end
Preserve in us the will to mend.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

"Many are the desires of the human heart, but the will of the Lord remains eternally." —St. Augustine

[Pascal @KnowsPascal]

Sin is a wound; repentance is a medicine. Just as there are for the body wounds and medicines, so for the soul are sins and repentance. However, sin has the shame and repentance possesses the courage.

-St. Chrysostom
