GOD HONORS YOUTH

God created man to live in this world forever using his or her complete energy, as if he or she is a youth. I do not believe that it was in the divine plan for man to grow old and die. We can say that He honors youthfulness. The Psalmist offers a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God, saying, "Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s." (Ps. 103:5).

St. Paul advises his disciple, St. Timothy, the young bishop, to deal with the "younger men as brothers." (1 Tim 5:1) and respect their personalities and thoughts.
