High Ideals and Faith


‘If you abide in the love of Christ, rooted in the faith, you will encounter, even amid setbacks and suffering, the source of true happiness and joy. Faith does not run counter to your highest ideals; on the contrary, it elevates and perfects those ideals. Dear young people, do not be satisfied with anything less than Truth and Love, do not be content with anything less than Christ.’

- Pope Benedict XVI, Homily at Prayer Vigil with Young People on the Eve of World Youth Day, Cuatro Vientos Air Base, Madrid, 20th August 2011
