"Today too there is a need for disciples of Christ who give unstintingly to their time and energy to serve the Gospel. There is a need for young people who will allow God's love to burn within them and who will respond generously to his urgent call, just as many young blesseds and saints did in the past and also in more recent times."

-Pope Benedict XVI,
World Youth Day, 2008
