Young pilgrims, Christ needs you to enlighten the world and to show it the “path to life” ( Psalm 16,11 ) The challenge is to make the Church\u2019s “yes” to Life concrete and effective. The struggle will be long, and it needs each one of you. Place your intelligence, your talents, your enthusiasm, your compassion and your fortitude at the service of life !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have no fear. The outcome of the battle for Life is already decided, even though the struggle goes on. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage of history, the liberating message of the Gospel of Life has been put into your hands. And the mission of proclaiming it to the ends of the earth is now passing to your generation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Church needs your energies, your enthusiasm, your youthful ideals, in order to make the Gospel of Life penetrate the fabric of society, transforming people\u2019s hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You young people now know that Life is more powerful than the forces of death; they know that the Truth is more powerful than darkness; that Love is stronger than death.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to invite each of you to listen careful to God’s voice in your heart. Listen to his voice. Do not be afraid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope John Paul II<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
