Pope Benedict’s challenge to YOU!
“Friends, again I ask you, what about today?
What are you seeking? What is God whispering to
you? The hope which never disappoints is Jesus
Christ. The saints show us the selfless love of
his way. As disciples of Christ, their extraordinary
journeys unfolded within the community of hope,

that resonates within you. Tell others about the
truth that sets you free…”(keep
