“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.

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’s hearts and the structures of society

in order to create civilization of true justice and love. Now more than ever, in a world that

is often without light and without the courage of noble ideals, people need the

fresh, vital spirituality of the Gospel.”   -St. Pope John Paul II
