Pope Benedict's call to all young adults...not just Catholic.
B16 said that young Catholics are "called to go against the tide," during a November 9 meeting with an Italian students' organization.
In contemporary society, the Holy Father said, too many people are caught up in "a race, sometimes a desperate race, toward appearance and possession at all costs-- at the expense, unfortunately, of being." Young Catholics, he said, should be constantly cautioned to avoid that mistake, and "not to fear choosing alternative paths which only Christ can indicate."
...In university life today, the Pope continued, students are confronted with appeals to "arrogance and the achievement of success at all costs." In opposition to that attitude, he said, Christian students should bear "convinced and courageous evangelical witness." He asked the young people to help demonstrate to their peers that faith and reason can strengthen and support each other.(CWN)
Great motto to live by...for all adults young and old, Catholic and non-catholic, Christian and non-Christian...
