When he spoke to the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who gathered in Kraków for World Youth Day 2016, Pope Francis pointed out to young people the dangers of apathy and materialism, inviting them to leave a mark on history by being proactive in following Jesus, transforming our broken world. In Dear Young Friends, Bishop Brendan Leahy introduces talks, conversations and dialogues that Pope Francis has had with young people, both at that event and on various other occasions since taking office. The Pope’s eminently accessible and encouraging words, in both his speeches and one-to-one personal replies to questions, offer an invitation to young people to become active and hopeful participants in the Church today and to choose the challenging path of engagement with the Gospel message.
