Edrylle Dayrit’s “Philippine Pastoral Implications of Pope Francis’ Vision of Youth Evangelization” gathers five key themes from the Pope’s teachings, applies them specifically to youth evangelization, and underlines their pastoral implication: (1) the missionary mode of evangelizing, (2) the agents of youth evangelization, (3) synodality and accompaniment, (4) the culture of encounter, (5) and the joy of the Gospel. Drawing mainly from the seminal document Evangelii Gaudium and the Pope’s Exhortation to and on the Youth, Christus Vivit, he offers a practical synthesis of the Pontiff’s vision of evangelization – which is not necessarily limited to youth ministry – and identifies its essential features that aim to bring out in evangelizers the magnetic joy of living the Good News that draws and attracts others. As he says, “following Christ’s footsteps is not always a journey to Golgotha,” but a way through the Cross to the Resurrection. – from the Editor’s Preface
