Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Fifteenth Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, which focused on "Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment." Kroeger contextualizes the synod's proceedings and highlights its key themes, emphasizing the Church's commitment to listening to and walking with the youth. The piece underscores the pastoral methodology of "see, judge, act" and traces how the synod's communal discernment culminated in Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit. Ultimately, Kroeger illustrates a vision of a synodal, listening Church that embraces young people as vital, active protagonists in its ongoing mission.
