That was the heart of Pope John Paul II's General Papal Audience this past Wednesday in Paul VI Hall as reported by the ZENIT News Agency. The Holy Father reminded all that we need to remember Christ's assuring words in John 10: 10, "I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly." The Pope affirmed, furthermore, that we are called to "eliminate fear of the future" which "often entraps young generations, leading them to react with indifference, with resignation in the face of life's commitments, with self- degradation through drugs, violence, and apathy." "We must not fear the future," the Pope said in closing. "With the help of the grace of God, we can construct ... a civilization worthy of the human person, a true culture of freedom. We can and must do so!" A day later the Blessed Mother conveyed in her message at Medjugorje the same theme, " the one who prays is not afraid of the future and the one who fasts is not afraid of evil." Back to the top
