Hello all! As we continue to discuss World Youth Day, may I remind you of the comment policy here at The Pillar: Christian charity.

I believe that we can discuss substantive issues candidly and frankly, with real disagreement and engagement, while modeling at the same time charity for both our interlocutors and those whom we are discussing. I expect that of Pillar subscribers, actually.

in the jubilee year 2000, Pope John Paul II, whose initiate gave birth to WYD told the world’s Catholic youth: ‘It is Jesus you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.’ (https://coramfratribus.com/notebook/)
