Dear young people, Christ asks you to be wide awake and alert, to see the things in life that really matter.

No one is saved alone, as an isolated individual, but God attracts us looking at the complex web of relationships that take place in the human community. God enters into this dynamic, this participation in the web of human relationships.

Seeking happiness in material things is a sure way of being unhappy.

Be men and women with others and for others: true champions at the service of others.

Today let us all ask ourselves whether we are afraid of what God might ask, or of what he does ask.... Do I truly let God into my life? How do I answer him?

Sin is not a stain that I must wash out. What I need to do is ask forgiveness and reconcile myself, not go to the drycleaners. I have to go encounter Jesus who gave his life for me.

The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus.
