A quote from Pope Francis:
"I know that some of you will ask me: 'Father, yes, you tell us to look at the horizon and to remember things, but today, what do I do?' Live your life to the full! Today, take life as it comes and do good to others. In the world today, a game is being played out in which there is no room for substitutes: either you are in the team or you are out. Take the memories you have inherited, look towards the horizon and today, grasp life and carry it forward, use it productively, make it fruitful. God calls you to be fruitful! God calls you to transmit this life to others. God calls you to create hope. God calls you to receive mercy and show mercy to others. God calls you to be happy. Do not be afraid! Do not be afraid. Play life to the full! That is life."
-- Message to young people of Brownsville, Texas, July 27, 2016
