Exploring Christus Vivit: Making Room for the Young Church
edited by Gerard Gallagher (Veritas, €9.99/£9.12)
The promise of the future is in this little book, a collection of thoughts and commentaries edited by Gerard Gallagher, on last year’s apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Christus Vivit. The hope of creative renewal and continuation is seen by Pope Francis is the embracing love and enthusiasm of young people. Mr Gallagher has in mind an audience of readers among young people and those who work with them. Whatever the last months of this year bring (and at the moment of writing they signs seem both ominous and hopeful) will provide thoughts to ponder about the future to stimulate minds and refresh souls over Christmastide.
