Sažetak
With the rise of violence amongst youth, the author suggests that it does not suffice to deal with consequences. It is necessary to take into account man's existence, which, according to the Christian outlook, is only possible through faith. Since faith is necessarilly connected with baptism, the article reflects upon the effects of grace of this sacrament which is a new creation which is conscious of it's existential belonging. Only the person that deeply feels loved can renounce power as a solution to all problems. Realization of one's Christian dignity and faith which is liturgically manifested can compensate for the shortcomings of the modern family which breeds violent tendencies. In order for this to take place, it is necessary to deepen in the youth their baptismal identity through mystagogical study.
