Youth, young

A group of young people.

Excerpt from the prayer of the De Profundis:

"Do not look at my faults, Lord, for otherwise I will not be able to stand in Your Presence, but show me Your mercy. You said: 'I am Mercy.' And I believe in Your word. My Soul, wounded and downcast, trusts in You, relies on Your promises, and from dawn to night, from youth to old age, I will hope in You"

In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"

• Youth is a wine that ferments and then clears. During fermentation, it swells and foams and overflows on all sides with exuberance of life.
