It is Christ who gives us true love and hope which sustains us as we face the mystery of evil in the world and the suffering it brings to our personal lives. Our culture decieves us with false promises which are devoid of truth, love and light and therefore leads to despair. The young and old need the light of Christ to face the challenges of life in the face of today’s evil.

I believe you are spot on here, however, this is not a new problem that arose in our culture. It is always contemporary in society, timeless since the first sin.
When I reflect on my own upbringing, Mama tried, but did not get through to ANY of her 8 children. Now 2, perhaps 2 more coming along, know Christ, and we’re in our 50’s. Personally, I had girlfriends who “got it” and tried to bring me along, but no male friends that “got it” until at least early adulthood. I was 33 before the blinders fell off.
I was the youth leader at our church in LA for a few years and saw only girls lead to Christ. At that time I did not understand how this was the same situation I experienced as a youth in the late 60s early 70s.
Maybe it’s just a guy thing. It’s certainly a Satan thing.
