Pope Francis has left the Youth of the World a very powerful message and a message that we at Holy Cross College fully endorse. The Pope wants to see our young people be active through Christian Service and to continuously show mercy to all those they come across in their lives.
The following excerpt is from this week's copy of The eRecord and the full article can be accessed here
"In a challenging and inspiring address, Pope Francis invited young
people to be active and to make a difference in today’s world.
“The times we live in do not call for young couch potatoes but for
young people with shoes, or, better, boots laced,” the Pope said. He
added that we didn’t come into this world “to make our lives a
comfortable couch to fall asleep on. No, we came for another reason, to
leave a mark”.
Pope Francis encouraged young people to “build bridges, not walls”,
to be “courageous and free”, and to not confuse “happiness with
consumption”.
