- Discernment and accompaniment among the youth : pastoral perspective in the light of the post-synodal apostolic exhortation Christus VivitPublication . Ngozi, Theresa Iheoma; Rodrigues, Luís Miguel FigueiredoHuman growth is constantly affected by the decisions one makes along life’s journey. In a particular way, with the young people, we want to understand the pastoral perspective of discernment and accompaniment in light of the post-synodal exhortation Christus Vivit. Thus, this study aims to determine how discernment and accompaniment in the Christian tradition are the factors of discipleship. Based on the literature review and theories of discernment and accompaniment, an online survey was set out to understand the perception of respondents about discernment and accompaniment, youth pastoral ministry, and the mentor in the youth pastoral ministry. Our analysis of the responses demonstrated a relationship between the theory and the praxis of discernment in concrete. It also raised some distorted conceptions of some words used in the study. The results indicate that discernment and accompaniment are essential in all dimensions of human life. On this basis, the youth pastoral ministry and the mentor are imperative factors but not exclusive in constructing young people's identities. In a nutshell, “discernment is a function of a loving, personal relationship with the Lord.” (Thomas Green, Weeds Among the Wheat).
