BENEDICT XVI: WYD– BARANGAROO, "THE MESSAGE" TO BE BROUGHT "TO THE WORLD"

” ” ” “According to Benedict XVI, "our world has grown weary of greed, exploitation and division, of the tedium of false idols and piecemeal responses, and the pain of false promises. Our hearts and our minds – he told the young – are yearning for a vision of life where love endures, where gifts are shared, where unity is built, where freedom finds meaning in truth, and where identity is found in respectful communion. This – the Pope insisted – is the work of the Holy Spirit! This is the hope held out by the Gospel of Jesus Christ!". And he ended his speech by expressing the hope: "Let this be the message that you bring from Sydney to the world!".
