A letter to the youth of the Society of Saint Vincent de
Paul(¼º ºóþ½Ã¿À ¾Æ ¹Ù¿À·Îȸ û³âÇùÀÇȸ ȸ¿øµé¿¡°Ô)
(1)
¡°I write to you, the young, because you have defeated the
Evil one¡±(¡° ³ª´Â ÀþÀºÀÌ ¿©·¯ºÐµéÀÌ ¾ÇÀÇ ¼¼·ÂÀ» ¹°¸®ÃƱ⿡ ÀÌ ÆíÁö¸¦ ¾¹´Ï´Ù.¡±)
I wish to open this first message to you, the young members
of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, with the words of
the apostle John in his first letter (2,13). It surely took
a great deal of courage for a young man or woman in the times
of saint John to become a Christian and trying to live as
such in a pagan world. He or she had certainly defeated the
Evil one upon receiving baptism and in trying to live in accordance
with its demands. No other was the case with saint John himself,
called by Jesus to follow Him in his early youth. (¿©·¯ºÐ¿¡°Ô µå¸®´Â

No other was the case either with Frederic Ozanam and his
friends co-founders of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul
in the 19th century. Theirs was again a practically pagan
world, especially the academic world of their youth. But once
again they defeated the Evil one with the same arms of the
early Christian youth: a life built upon the rock of their
faith in Christ and a consequent practice of His teachings,
which are summed up in one: love of God and neighbor. (19¼¼±âÀÇ

Almost two thousand years have elapsed since saint John wrote
his first letter; yet we still find ourselves in a world which
so frequently looks and acts as a pagan (even when baptized)
world. Once again, trying to live like a Christian in such
a world demands a great deal of courage, as in the early times
of the Church and in the early times of the Society of Saint
VIncent de Paul. (¿äÇÑ »çµµ°¡ ÀÌ ÆíÁö¸¦ ¾´ Áö 2000¿©³âÀ̶ó´Â ¼¼¿ùÀÌ Èê·¶Áö¸¸ ¿ì¸®´Â

The apostle John did not seem to think, as some people do,
that trying to live like a true Christian was in his time
beyond the capacity of a young man or of a young woman. Quite
the contrary. Says he: ¡°I have written to you, the young,
because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you¡±
(2,14). The word of God, not age, is what makes a man or a
woman strong. (±×·¯³ª, ¿äÇÑ »çµµ´Â ´ëºÎºÐÀÇ »ç¶÷µéÀÌ »ý°¢ÇÏ´Â °Íó·³ ÀþÀºÀ̵éÀÌ ½Å¾ÓÀÎÀ¸·Î
