FILLED WITH INFINITE SURPRISES
Have the courage to dare with God! Try it! Do not be afraid of Him! Have the courage to risk with faith! Have the courage to risk with goodness! Have the courage to risk with a pure heart! Commit yourselves to God, then you will see that it is precisely by doing so that your life will become broad and light, not boring but filled with infinite surprises, for God’s infinite goodness is never depleted!
Pope Benedict XVI

BETWEEN FRIENDS
Contemplative prayer in my opinion is nothing else than a close sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us.
St. Teresa of Avila

NOTHING MORE BEAUTIFUL
Each one of us is willed, each one of us is loved, each one of us is necessary. There is nothing more beautiful than to be surprised by the Gospel, by the encounter with Christ. There is nothing more beautiful than to know Him and to speak to others of our friendship with Him.
Pope Benedict XVI

LOVED BY THE CHURCH
Young people must feel loved by the Church.… In this way they will experience in the Church the Lord’s friendship and love for them and understand that in Christ, truth coincides with love. In turn, they will learn to love the Lord and to trust in his Body, which is the Church.
Pope Benedict XVI
