"What is needed today is a Church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body which is the Church, to propose the possibility of a choice which will require a commitment of their lives. As Jesus with the disciples at Emmaus, so the Church must become today the traveling companion of young people..." (Saint John Paul II, Youth: Sent to Proclaim true liberation, World Youth Day 1995, Philippines)
"If we let Christ into our lives, we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful and great. No! Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide. Only in this friendship is the great potential of human existence truly revealed. Only in this friendship do we experience beauty and liberation." (Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at Mass of Inauguration, 24 April 2005)
