Sažetak

World Youth Day is a special opportunity for youth ministry. The authors remind us that by launching World Youth Day in 1986 Pope John Paul II urged the youth to place Jesus christ at the center of their life. Each World Youth Day is a powerful moment of evangelization, a sign of ecclesial communion and an encouragement to the youth for renewal. In preparation for this great event youth should avoid the dangers arising from the massive gatherings, volatility and passivity. The specific context of life greatly affects the overall life and work, including the youth ministry. This is a pastoral opportunity for proclamation and catechesis. For pastoral workers this is an opportunity to help young people to encounter Jesus Christ and with his Church, to adhere to Christ and to become apostles among the youth. Finally, the article proposes several ways to prepare for the next World Youth Day. With preparation, it is important to accompany the youth during World Youth Day and also after the event.
