” “The Pope highlighted that the Church "especially needs the gifts of young people, all young people. She needs to grow in the power of the Spirit who even now gives joy to your youth and inspires you to serve the Lord with gladness". Hence the plea: "Open your hearts to that power!. What does it mean to receive the "seal" of the Holy Spirit?". Benedict XVI explained that "it means being indelibly marked, inalterably changed, a new creation. For those who have received this gift, nothing can ever be the same! Being "baptized" in the one Spirit means being set on fire with the love of God". This, however, entails one further step: "Being "given to drink" of the Spirit means being refreshed by the beauty of the Lord’s plan for us and for the world, and becoming in turn a source of spiritual refreshment for others. Being "sealed with the spirit" the Holy Father concluded means not being afraid to stand up for Christ, letting the truth of the Gospel permeate the way we see, think and act, as we work for the triumph of the civilization of love".” “
