July in Rio de Janeiro! I will see you in that great city in Brazil! Prepare
well in your communities—prepare spiritually above all—so that our
gathering in Rio may be a sign of faith for the whole world.” Then, in
an unscripted
exhortation, the Pope called out: “Young persons, you must tell the
world that it's good to follow Jesus, that it's good to go with Jesus. Jesus'
message is good. It's good to go outside ourselves to the ends of the earth
and of existence to bring
Jesus! Three words: Joy, Cross, and Youth.”
“Let us ask the intercession of the Virgin Mary. She teaches us the
joy of meeting Christ, the love with which we must look to the foot of the
Cross, the enthusiasm of the young heart with which we must

throughout our lives. May it be so.”

ANGLEUS: POPE WISHES YOUTH A GOOD JOURNEY TO WYD 2013
Vatican City, 24 March 2013 (VIS) – At the end of this
orning’s Mass for Palm Sunday, and before praying the Angelus, the Pope
called upon the intercession of our Lady, particularly in favour of those
suffering with tuberculosis and
young persons.
“Dear Brothers and Sisters,” he began. “At the end of
this celebration, we invoke the intercession of the Virgin Mary, that she may
accompany us during Holy Week. May she, who followed her Son with faith all
the way to Calvary, help
us to walk behind him, carrying his Cross with serenity and love, so as to
attain the joy of Easter. May Our Lady of Sorrows support especially those who
are experiencing difficult situations. My thoughts turn to the people
afflicted with tuberculosis,
as today is the World Day against this disease. To Mary I entrust especially
you, dear young people, and your path towards Rio de Janeiro: This July, Rio!
Prepare your hearts spiritually. May all of you have a good journey!”
Then, in several languages, Francis wished the youth joy on their
journey.
