Philippines Cardinal stresses importance of World Youth Day.
31 July 2013: The World Youth Day celebration, which closed Sunday evening in Brazil,
remains relevant to young people, particularly to those seeking answers about their
faith, said Cardinal Luis Tagle of Manila . Today's youth are looking for deep
answers regarding the many questions of people, especially when it comes to faith,
the prelate said during the closing Mass of the local World Youth Day celebration,
organized for thousands of young Catholics who were not able to attend the Rio celebration.
Cardinal Tagle said the center of the celebration has always been faith. "It’s not
true that youth are only after temporary happiness." He said the World Youth Day
event has become more relevant because of the friendships formed during the celebration.
"In a world where there is a lot of divisiveness, we see the youth from different
nations gather together and become friends with each other," he added. The next World
Youth Day will be held in the Polish city of Kraków in 2016 Source: Ucan
