Sažetak
The article discusses the opportunities and the perspectives of youth pastoral ministry. In order to speak with and about young people, it is necessary to be with them and to know them, not only superficially but in all dimensions of their existence. In developing the theme of youth pastoral ministry, we start with the young people as inhabitants of the world today. Also, we briefly refer to young people as members of the Church that Jesus Christ wanted and founded and which has always been, is, and will be part of the world. The first part of the article is titled Young people and today’s world. It brings out certain outlines of the contemporary world in which young people live. These outlines can be of great help in understanding the identity of young people, in embracing them and better planning and programming youth pastoral ministry. Young people and the Church is the title of the second part. Young people are very important for the life of the society, but also for the life of the Church. They are the young face of the society and of the Church, an integral part of the society and the Church, and an integral part of their existence and activity. That is why the Church has adopted youth care as one of its pastoral priorities. The title of the third part is Youth pastoral ministry. Young people want a Church that speaks clearly and lives faithfully. This fact is important for good planning and programming of youth pastoral ministry at all levels. This part presents the reality, the opportunities and the incentives for youth pastoral ministry.
