Qemyafea geauflgnf For the Spirit Himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God CRom. 8:l6J The world has many stately temples, many great cathedrals which tower in their loveliness high above the humble dwellings around them. Their beauty and wonder are the delight of generations. These temples stand out as splendid monuments of what the mind of man has power to plan and his hands have skill to fashion. Their beauty and wonder are the delight of our eyes. But how much more stately, more awe inspiring, are the living temples of youth fashioned and molded by the Holy Spirit to possess within its confines the grace of God, and to hold in the sanctuary of their hearts the God of grace. The beauty and grandeur of the living temples are the eternal delight of God and His Angels. God created youth unto His image and likeness and inflamed their spirits with strength and vitality. God, therefore, expects youth to accept the front line position in a gigantic mission - to follow the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and day by day enrich the grandeur of their souls, by bringing the family and, through the family, the world back to Christ. Mary S. Edgar portrays vividly this truth in her poem Youth, Every Youth has a quest to make, For life is the King's Highway And a joyous heart is the script we take, On the road of Everyday. In the deepest recesses of every youth's heart, the Holy Spirit implanted the urge to be PURE, STRONG, and BRAVE. Into their souls, He infused justice, lrutb and liberty, so that their Youthful Temples be adorned with an ENLIGHTENED MIND and an UNSULLIED SOUL. These are priceless gifts, and as such, must be guarded. Every youth has his gifts to guard, As he fares to a far-off goal, A body pure, and a mind unmarred, And the light of a lovely soul. To each and every youth God gave a special mission to perform. The fruits of the Spirit are displayed in everyone who is in the state of grace, who is ever cautious to keep his temple holy and pure. History proves that a great spirit in a small body can set the world afire. St. Francis of Assisi did it, St. Clare, St. Agnes, St. Maria Goretti, and many, many other youthful souls did it. Every youth has a task of his own, For the Father has willed it so. Youth seeks the way and He alone Can show him the path to go. But Youth cannot fulfill life's mission alone. Life's heights and youth's inherent weakness make life's journey difficult and at times disheartening. Where human weak- ness fails, God's charity provides. Every youth has a lovely Guide, From the vale to the mountain crest, For the unseen Friend who walks beside, Is the Way and End of the Quest. -Dolores Ungerer 21
