CHANGE FROM WITHIN
"In so many of our societies, side by side with material prosperity, a spiritual desert is spreading: an interior emptiness, an unnamed fear, a quiet sense of despair....God's love can only unleash its power when He is allowed to change us from within. We have to let it to break through the hard crust of our indifference, our spiritual weariness, our blind conformity to the spirit of this age."
- Pope Benedict XVI, challenging the 350,000 young Catholics gathered in Sydney, Australia, for the World Youth Day festival [bbc.co.uk, 7/20/08]
