Pangungusap ni John Paul II sa mga Kabataan na Pinagkatiwalaan ng Krus ng Jubileo sa Taon ng Pagtubos 

Mga Minamahal kong kabataan,

Sa pagtatapos ng Banal na Taon
Ipagkatiwala ko sa iyo ang tanda ng Banal na Taon:
ang krus ni Kristo!

Sa buong mundo dalhin ito bilang isang simbolo
ng pag-ibig ni Kristo para sa Sangkatauhan,
at ipahayag sa lahat
na sa kamatayan at pagkabuhay na muli ng Kristo lamang
pwede kaming makahanap ng Kaligtasan at pagtubos.

My dear young people,

Siya ay ang may nagmamay ari ng  lakas at pagtaguyod ng kung ano alindog ng mga kabataan, iyon ay upang sabihin,na siya ay may kakayahang matuwa sa kung ano ang Simula,handang ibigay ang sarili ng kawalang pangingimi, magpanibago ng  sarili atang maglayag sa panibagong pakikibaka. Hanapin sa Simbahan at matatagpuan mo siya sa mukha ni kristo, ang tunay, mapagpakumbaba, at matalinong bayani, ang Propeta ng katotohanan at pag-ibig, ang mga kabarkada at kaibigan ng kabataan. Ito ay sa pagpupugay sa inyo sa pangalan ni Kristo na nangangaral at nagpapala sa inyo"(Disyembre 7, 1965).

Message of the Second Vatican Council to the Youth

MESSAGE OF THE II VATICAN COUNCIL TO YOUTH

"Lastly, it is to you, young men and women of the world, that the Council wishes to address its final message. For it is you who are to receive the torch from the hands of your elders and to live in the world at the period of the most gigantic transformations ever realized in its history. It is you who receiving the best of the example of the teaching of your parents and your teachers, are to form the society of tomorrow. You will either save yourselves or you will perish with it.

For four years the Church has been working to rejuvenate her image in order to respond the better to the design of her Founder, the great Living One, the Christ who is eternally young. At the term of this imposing re-examination of life, she now turns to you. It is for you, youth, especially for you that the Church now comes through her Council to enkindle your light, the light which illuminates the future, your future.

The Church is anxious that this society that you are going to build up should respect the dignity, the liberty, and the rights of individuals. These individuals are you. The Church is particularly anxious that this society should allow free expansion to her treasure ever ancient and ever new, namely faith, and that your souls may be able to bask freely in its helpful light. She has confidence that you will find such strength and such joy that you will not be tempted, as were some of your elders, to yield to the seductions of egoistic or hedonistic philosophies or to those of despair and annihilation, and that in the face of atheism, a phenomenon of lassitude and old age, you will know how to affirm your faith in life and what gives meaning to it, that is to say, the certitude of the existence of a just and good God.

It is in the name of this God and of His Son, Jesus, that we exhort you to open your hearts to the dimensions of the world, to heed the appeal of your brothers, to place your youthful energies at their service. Fight against all egoism. Refuse to give free course to the instincts of violence and hatred which beget wars and all their train of miseries. Be generous, pure, respectful, and sincere, and build in enthusiasm a better world than your elders had.

The Church looks to you with confidence and with love. Rich with a long past ever living in her, and marching on toward human perfection in time and the ultimate destinies of history and of life, the Church is the real youth of the world. She possesses what constitutes the strength and the charm of youth, that is to say, the ability to rejoice with what is beginning, to give oneself unreservedly, to renew oneself and to set out again for new conquests. Look upon the Church and you will find in her the face of Christ, the genuine, humble, and wise Hero, the Prophet of truth and love, the Companion and Friend of youth. It is in the name of Christ that we salute you, that we exhort and bless you" (7 December 1965).

In Honor of the Youth

December 16, the start of the Misa de Gallo, novena dawn mass for the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, is also designated by the Catholic Bishop Conference of the Philippines as the National Youth Day (NYD).

This year National Youth Day is its silver jubilee, the 25th year of the Episcopal Commission of Youth and the culmination of the celebration of the CBCP's National Year of the Youth in connection with the one hundred ninety five after the birth of St. John Bosco who dedicated his life for the youth especially for the education of catholic youth. His relic visited some parts of the country. The Youth of the diocese was able to view it on San Pablo and on Calamba.



The church regards the importance of the youth. Pope John Paul II highlighted the role of the youth and its pastoral care through the establishment of the World Youth Day. The activities of this yearly event has particular effect and fascinates varies of ages and races.


The author was never been in any of the World Youth day celebration, not even during the 1995 World Youth Day here in Philippines. Maybe through this site people like the author who never had the opportunity to celebrate such a magnificent event may experience joy through the experience of those who were fortunate and those who can participate in the forthcoming celebrations.



With careful deliberations and prayerful reflection the author decided to add additional blog to be listed in the blogger.com named World Youth Day in http://youthworlday.blogspot.com. This Blog will contain the pictures, news, history, messages and blog posts of the celebrations the author deem beneficial to the readers.
