Have the Courage to Be Happy: Thoughts of Pope Francis for Young People

An optimistic and enthusiastic vision of the Church's future.

Based on his speech to the youth assembled in the square, Have the Courage to Be Happy is a handbook for teens and pre-teens. Themes such as "seeing with new eyes," and "your very own rose" are fully explored with reflections from the Pope, questions to ask oneself, prayers and action items. But most of all, space is left at the end of each chapter for readers to write their own thoughts: giving young people a space of their own to grow.Marco Pappalardo
