"The world you are inheriting is a world which desperately needs a new sense of brotherhood and human solidarity. It is a world that needs to be touched and healed by the beauty and richness of God's love. It needs witnesses to that love! The world needs salt. It needs you to be the salt and the light of the world."
John Paul II, World Youth Day Concluding Mass, July 2002
