”Young Vincentians, Hearts in the Right Place”

Third in a series catechetical reflections from Toronto and World Youth Day

An invitation

““You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world” (Mt 5:13-14): this is the theme I have chosen for the next World Youth Day. The images of salt and light used by Jesus are rich in meaning and complement each other.   (Message of the Holy Father for WYD 2002)

Let us love God, my brothers, let us love God, but let it be with the strength of our arms, with the sweat of our brows… Let us not fool ourselves, my brothers, our job is to work.  (St. Vicente de Paul, XI,733-734).
