The Holy Father speaking to Croatian youth

Then you shall know that I am the Lord, and those who hope in me shall never be disappointed. Isaiah 49:23

Jesus speaks to you today, through the Gospel and his Holy Spirit. He is your contemporary! He seeks you even before you seek him! While fully respecting your freedom, he approaches each one of you and offers himself as the authentic and decisive response to the longing deep within your hearts, to your desire for a life worth living. Let him take you by the hand! Let him become more and more your friend and companion along life's journey. Put your trust in him and he will never disappoint you! “Rejoice in the Lord always!” May his joy, the joy of true love, be your strength.
~Pope Benedict XVI, Address at Prayer Vigil with Croatian Youth, 6/4/11

Thank you, dear Lord, for always being our changeless friend and our faithful companion.  Amen.
