Marcin Mińczyński

Abstract

Youth ministry is the Church’s activity directed to young people, both through individual and community forms. The purpose of this activity is to carry out the work of salvation and evangelisation of young people. Unfortunately, the youth Marian movements are very little noticed, but in this movements-such as the Marian Sodality-many young people are involved. Mother of God in the formation of young people in the spirituality of this movements is for the young-often lost or wounded-not only an idea–but an inspiration, and also an authority-teacher-guide-pointing and leading to a meeting with the living God. The Marian school of faith-the Marian school of Christian life-the Marian school of the apostolate-the Marian school of charity or the Marian school of life in the community of the Church and the fulfillment of their vocation are current proposals of this movements that are the place where the goals of pastoral ministry are realized. Formation in the Marian movements is not only devotion to Mary, but the Marian school of Christian life captured as a whole and covers all spheres of human life and activity. No  else alone God alone has included Mary in the work of salvation, so if pastoral work is to carry out God’s plans, it can not fail to be Marian. A person of Mary, properly portrayed as experiencing various joyful and painful moments in her life, can become a close Guide pointing to God and faith as a response to the problems of youth.
