“Have Courage! Go Forward! Make noise!” - Pope Francis’s address to youth from the Diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio
It’s almost a phrase that one might hear at a sporting
event.
Knowing that our world is riddled with sin and destruction,
Pope Francis encourages Catholics to wake up and get serious.
Now is the time for us to put an end to being silent. No
longer should we be satisfied with going to Mass with good intentions, and then
once it is through, return to our jobs and hide our faith. We need to make an
impact in every way possible. Making a noise means to have the courage to
express your belief in God everywhere we go. God’s message needs to be heard in
the highways and the byways, in our schools, at our jobs, on the playgrounds
and street corners. Teach others about Christ and his abundant love and mercy. Be
a light to illuminate the darkness in our world. Be a beacon of hope for the
broken and downtrodden.
People need God now more than ever.
The Church needs YOU to bring them back to Him.
This is our battle cry.
Let’s go to work.
