This month, Pope Benedict XVI’s Missionary intention is that the youth may witness to Christ: “That young people, called to follow Christ, may be willing to proclaim and bear witness to the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
In a year’s time, Pope Benedict will be in Rio de Janeiro with millions of young people for the 28th World Youth Day. Two weeks ago, the Pope thanked the organizers of the event, which is “a precious opportunity for a great many young people to experience the joy and beauty of belonging to the Church and of living the faith.”
The theme for WYD 2013 is: “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Let us pray with the Holy Father, then, that young people may go out and engage in the New Evangelization.
