Poor in Spirit
Being “poor in spirit” is a fundamental virtue for Catholic teenagers, as it emphasizes humility and complete dependence on God. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, being poor in spirit means recognizing one’s need for God and trusting in His providence rather than relying on material possessions or worldly achievements. This virtue fosters a sense of inner freedom and detachment from worldly desires, allowing teenagers to focus on their spiritual growth and relationship with God.
