“Let me tell you what I hope will be
the outcome of World Youth Day: I hope there will noise. … I want you to
make yourselves heard in your dioceses, I want the noise to go out, I want the
Church to go out onto the streets, I want us to resist everything worldly,
everything static, everything comfortable, everything to do with clericalism,
everything that might mak
e us closed in on ourselves.”
Pope Francis (July 25, 2013,
Meeting With Youth, Cathedral of San Sebastián, Rio de Janeiro)
“Do not be afraid to go and to bring
Christ into every area of life, to the fringes of society, even to those who
seem farthest away, most indifferent.”
Pope Francis, 2013, July 28,
World Youth Day Mass
