Christus vivit - A reflection
The following is my reflection and a brief summary of the Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit promulgated 25 March 2019. I should provide fair warning that, while this document has much to offer, my reflection includes a slightly irreverent lament that Pope Francis does not seem to be a fan of brevity and clarity in magisterial documents.
TLDR: Read Chapters 1, 3, 4, 6, 9.
Prologue - Paragraph 1-4
4 paragraphs of preamble, and paragraphs 1-2 set the tone for the exhortation. I am reproducing them here.
Christ is alive! He is our hope, and in a wonderful way he brings youth to our world, and everything he touches becomes young, new, full of life.
