“I want you to make yourselves heard in your diocese,” Pope Francis has told young Catholics. He inspires a special energy in young people, encouraging them to be courageous, to take risks and not to flee in the face of difficulties.

His bold example of traveling, despite warnings of danger from terrorist attacks, shows that he lives what he preaches. He has built a new spirit in today’s youth, but also demands more of them.

He’ll speak to the hundreds of thousands of young people expected to participate in World Youth Day 2016 and is sure to continue to inspire.
