Christ Is Alive! Christus Vivit, written by His Holiness Pope Francis, is a Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation which calls to all Christian young people especially and to all people of God, including pastors, parents, educators, families, youth and young adult ministries, and all the faithful, urging them to seek the youthful newness of life in Christ.  Pope Francis proposes that youth engage the joy of a living God, the richness of their Catholic faith, and the strength of living in Christian community.  He illuminates the Scriptures to give youth tangible hope and draw them more fully into the Church, and he challenges youth to take the grounded path of generous sacrifice and faithful companionship with peers, family, neighbors and elders.  He considers a plan for action that will take young people forward quickly, amid fears and hopes, into the work of a life with mission and purpose.  This exhortation will stir all who read it to seek a newness of life in the promise of Christ's Resurrection.  Published by the United States Catholic Conference of Catholic Bishops.  Paperback, 116 Pages, 6" x 9".  ISBN: 9781601376282.
