Reflections

Some wise words said by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI to the youth during his visit to Brazil. Hopefully anyone who reads this will take some time and reflect upon it; especially the youth!

“My appeal to you today, young people . . . is this: do not waste
your youth. Do not seek to escape from it. Live it intensely. . . .
You, young people, are not just the future of the Church and of
humanity, as if we could somehow run away from the present. . . .
The Church needs you, as young people, to manifest to the world
the face of Jesus Christ, visible in the Christian community.
Without this young face, the Church would appear disfigured.”

~ Pope Benedict XVI to Youth in Brazil
