Dear young people, what expresses God’s presence in the world more than anything else? Love, charity! Charity speaks a universal language, because it speaks  to every human heart. It is not just a concept, but a story revealed in the lives of  Jesus and the saints, who accompany us in life’s trials. Consider the many young people who, like you, have not allowed themselves to be discouraged by injustices and negative examples, even those found within the Church. Instead, they have tried to forge new paths in search of the Kingdom of God and its justice. Drawing on the strength you receive from Christ, build a better world than the one you inherited! As young people, you form relationships with others more easily, even those from different cultural and religious backgrounds. The true renewal that a young heart desires begins with everyday gestures: welcoming those near and far, offering a hand to friends and refugees, and forgiving enemies —a difficult but necessary task.
