Pope to Youth: Relationships with Jesus Vital; Look beyond the Business World for Challenges

The Catholic Culture website reports today (September 3, 2010) that Pope Benedict XVI -- in his message of World Youth Day 2010 -- told young people that their ultimate happiness will depend not on their career prospects, but on their relationships with Jesus Christ.

While young people devote a great amount of attention to their education and job prospects, the Pope said they should look beyond the business world, consider life's greater challenges, and pay attention to their spiritual lives.

He encouraged today's youth to pursue their ambitions, and to look beyond society's conventions for real answers to life's challenges.

The Pope emphasized that young people should not be constrained by the secular attitudes that "consider faith a purely private issue with no relevance for the life of society."
