Be Not Afraid!

During his first homily as Bishop of Rome, Pope Benedict XVI said that he sent his “affectionate embrace” to young people as he waited “to meet them in Cologne for the next” World Youth Day.
The international meeting of Catholic young people is due to be held in the German city this August.
Cardinal James Francis Stafford is the Major Penitentiary of the Holy Roman Church; he says that the Holy Father will continue to encourage young people to not be afraid to turn their lives to Christ.
