Sunday Nights: Encouraging Words for Young Adults

One of the many choices facing young adults in every age is whether to embrace or discard all or part of their religious upbringing. Most of them, especially during the turmoil of adolescence, go through some degree of rebellion. Some do not make it through that period of sorting and sifting, but many do make it, and begin their own personal faith journeys. To borrow some words from Shakespeare, they ?unthread the rude eye of rebellion and welcome home again discarded faith.? It is to this group that I have especially addressed this collection of homilies, almost all of them delivered in St. Robert Bellarmine Chapel.
