Blue & Blue April 2018 | Marist Corner 17Youthquake
The following article (with minor adaptations), was written
by John Robinson, (Sydney Regional Director of Marist
Schools). It appeared in the Marist Schools Australia
Newsletter (March 8, 2018). We are about spreading the
Good News. I recommend it to you. - Br Des Howard
“Youthquake” was selected by Oxford Dictionaries as
the 2017 word of the year. The venerable folk at Oxford
define Youthquake as “a significant cultural, political,
or social change arising from the actions or influence of
young people”. Casper Grathwohl, president of Oxford
Dictionaries in a BlogSpot commented that:
“We chose Youthquake based on its evidence and linguistic
interest. But most importantly for me, at a time when our
language is reflecting our deepening unrest and exhausted
nerves, it is a rare political word that sounds a hopeful note.
Sometimes you pick a word as the word of the year because
you recognise that it has arrived, but other times you pick one
that is knocking at the door and you want to help usher in... I
think this past year calls for a word we can all rally behind.”
As a strange coalescence or the work of the Holy Spirit,
the Australian Catholic Bishops declaration of 2018 as
the national Year of Youth reflects a similar hope. They
call for the “authentic and personal engagement by
Church leaders in the challenges and success in young
people’s lives”.
The Year of Youth focus on local renewal and engagement
provides an added impetus for each of us in Marist
ministry, to discern and help give young people a voice
in our Church and society. In doing so we perhaps we
enable a ‘Youthquake’ to occur to counter the “deepening
unrest and exhausted nerves” we sometimes experience.
Perhaps we help bring to birth a renewal in our local
communities and in our Church born of the hopes and the
challenges of our young people.
Matthew’s Gospel (19:14) recounts how Jesus challenged
the instincts of his day and allowed the children to come
to him, ‘unhindered’. At a time when the harsh discipline
of Jansenism characterised much schooling, Marcellin’s
own counter cultural stance inspired his Brothers:
“Remember that the young people you teach are your
brothers and sisters; Your own likeness, bone of your bone,
another you. These young people have the same heavenly
Father, the same destiny, the same end, the same hope.
They are called to the same happiness. They are your
travelling companions in time. They will be heirs with you,
sharing the joys of the homeland of heaven with you.”
Adapted from Opinions, Conferences, Sayings and
Instructions of Marcellin Champagnat (founder of the
Marist Brothers) In the Bible, “heart” stands for the deepest reality, the
essence of a person (it is used 814 times). In the eyes of
To have young people inform our faith lives is a rare God, the heart is the real person. The heart of Jesus is what

all equally” (Champagnat), and to give them Hope and a
Future, is our privileged vocation. (Dennis Murphy MSC)
18Marist Youth Ministry
Marist Youth Ministry seeks to provide a
space to engage young people, inviting them
to an experience of home. We know that
young people are searching for places where
their stories of joy, hope, disappointment,
frustration, and discovery can be listened to
with genuine understanding and love.
We are committed to engaging with young
people, whether they are students, young
adults or graduates of Marist Schools, and
forming a new generation of Marist disciples
with strong minds and gentle hearts; young
men and women who desire to live the Good 1
News of the Gospel, simply and joyfully, in their
everyday lives.
For our students, we run programs connecting
the two Marist schools in Adelaide, Sacred
Heart College and Cardijn College. We gather
once a term to explore themes such as;
Awakening to the community, Awakening
to yourselves, and Audacious Hope.
These programs offer encouragement and
empowerment to make a difference in the
students’ lives, and their school community.
In our young adult program, we gather once or
twice a month sharing in a meal, discovering
and exploring current day topics, whilst
engaging in enriching conversation with like- 2
minded peers. As was Saint Marcellin’s mission,
we engage in ministry and service in our local Top. A collective group of
