The 24th World Youth Day - Palm Sunday 5th April

The Message of Pope Benedict XVI brings a smile to our faces – he speaks of hope that can not be crushed by our present sufferings or worries.

“Youth is a special time of hope because it looks to the future with a whole range of expectations. When we are young we cherish ideals, dreams and plans. Youth is the time when decisive choices concerning the rest of our lives come to fruition.

Perhaps this is why it is the time of life when fundamental questions assert themselves strongly:

• Why am I here on earth?
• What is the meaning of life?
• What will my life be like?
• And again: How can I attain happiness?
• Why is there suffering, illness and death?
• What lies beyond death?

These are questions that become insistent when we are faced with obstacles that sometimes seem insurmountable: difficulties with studies, unemployment, family arguments, crises in friendships or in building good loving relationships, illness or disability, lack of adequate resources as a result of the present widespread economic and social crisis.

We then ask ourselves: where can I obtain and how can I keep alive the flame of hope burning in my heart?”
