The Pope In America: New World Sayings of John Paul
(3 of 3)
To Young People: Faced with problems and disappointments, many people will try to escape from their responsibility: escape in selfishness, escape in sexual pleasure, escape in drugs, escape in violence, escape in indifference and cynical attitudes. But today, I propose to you the option of love, which is the opposite of escape ... Whatever you make of your life, let it be something that reflects the love of Christ ... Whatever you do, remember that Christ is calling you, in one way or another, to the service of love: the love of God and of your neighbor ... Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God. It means discipline and sacrifice, but it also means joy and human fulfillment. Dear young people: Do not be afraid of honest effort and honest work; do not be afraid of the truth.
