Last month, Pope Francis had an inspirational message for the laity, “Dare to dream!”. I am energised by his words because they reminded me why I left everything to follow Christ.
Five years ago, I asked myself, “How can I help ensure that the next generation of Catholics finds the Church in a stronger, more dynamic and vibrant state than it is in now?” I was shocked by what my generation had inherited. I was in my late 20s, and throughout those first three decades of my life, it seemed like I had grown up in a Church blighted by one crisis and scandal after another.
