Sažetak

In the first part of the article some basic characteristics of religiousness of the young are presented. The authors point to the
young people’s detachment from institutionalized forms of religiousness, but also their deep desire for a more just and humane world,
which is presented as an opportunity to universal human and religious education of younger generation, who will get the future of
Europe. The authors also think that in the process of education the
figure of the Blessed Virgin Mary can play a major role, provided it
is presented to the young in the right way. In the second part of the
article, under the three subtitles, the authors suggest which features of the Blessed Virgin Mary should be presented to the young,
in terms of building their identity. The authors primarily emphasize Mary’s growth and maturation in her own faith; then they point
to Mary’s commitment to build a better world; finally they point out
fruition of Mary’s life as something that can inspire the young in
their development and maturation.
