Dear young people, do not be satisfied with anything less than Truth and Love, do not be content with anything less than Christ

In the face of horror ... there is no other answer than the cross of Christ: Love that descends to the abyss of evil.

Civilization is now under the tyranny of relativism.

Love is not greedy or self-seeking, but pure, faithful and genuinely free, open to others, respectful of their dignity, seeking their good, radiating joy and beauty.

The main task for us all is that of a new evangelization aimed at helping younger generations to rediscover the true face of God, who is Love. To you young people, who are in search of a firm hope, I address the very words that Saint Paul wrote to the persecuted Christians in Rome at that time: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit" (Rom 15:13).

The Catholic tradition maintains that the objective norms governing right action are accessible to reason, prescinding from the content of revelation.

To me, its seems necessary to rediscover - and the energy to do so exists - that even the political and economic spheres need moral responsibility, a responsibility that is born in man's heart and, in the end, has to do with the presence or absence of God.
