But do not forget: make yourselves heard take care of the two ends of life, the two ends of the history of peoples: the elderly and the young and do not water down the faith. And also the Cross of Saint Francis, which will travel on that same missionary journey. Well then, I want to give you my blessing, and afterwards, we will bless the image of the Virgin that is to travel all over the Republic. I need your prayers, I need them very much. Thank you for coming, thank you for praying for me I ask you from my heart, I need it. I would have liked to come closer to you, but I understand that for security reasons, it just isn’t possible. What an awful thing it is to be penned in. I am sorry that you are all penned in, but let me tell you something. Very well, I thank you for coming so close. With these two things you have the action plan: the Beatitudes and Matthew 25. If you want to know what you actually have to do, read Matthew Chapter 25, which is the standard by which we will be judged. The Beatitudes: What must we do, Father? Look, read the Beatitudes: that will do you good. Secondly: do not “water down” your faith in Jesus Christ. So then: make yourselves heard take care of the two ends of the population: the elderly and the young do not allow yourselves to be excluded and do not allow the elderly to be excluded. It is faith in the Son of God made man, who loved me and who died for me. Faith is whole and entire, not something that you water down. We dilute fruit drinks – orange, apple, or banana juice, but please do not drink a diluted form of faith. Please do not water down your faith in Jesus Christ. But it is the one sure path, the path of the Cross, the path of Jesus, the path of the Incarnation of Jesus. It is a scandal: the scandal of the Cross. It is a scandal that God came to be one of us. Faith in Jesus Christ is not a joke, it is something very serious. It’s obvious! That’s why I think you must work. But know this, know that at this moment, you young people and you elderly people are condemned to the same destiny: exclusion. And the rest of you, please, do not oppose the elderly: let them speak, listen to them and go forward. As for the young, they must emerge, they must assert themselves, the young must go out to fight for values, to fight for these values and the elderly must open their mouths, the elderly must open their mouths and teach us! Pass on to us the wisdom of the peoples!Īmong the Argentine people, I ask the elderly, from my heart: do not cease to be the cultural storehouse of our people, a storehouse that hands on justice, hands on history, hands on values, hands on the memory of the people. This civilization, in other words, has led us to exclude the two peaks that make up our future. The percentage of our young people without work, without employment, is very high and we have a generation with no experience of the dignity gained through work. You could easily think there is a kind of hidden euthanasia, that is, we don’t take care of the elderly but there is also a cultural euthanasia, because we don’t allow them to speak, we don’t allow them to act.

Look, at this moment, I think our world civilization has gone beyond its limits, it has gone beyond its limits because it has made money into such a god that we are now faced with a philosophy and a practice which exclude the two ends of life that are most full of promise for peoples. May the bishops and priests forgive me if some of you create a bit of confusion afterwards. if they don’t, they become an NGO, and the Church cannot be an NGO. The parishes, the schools, the institutions are made for going out. But I want you to make yourselves heard in your dioceses, I want the noise to go out, I want the Church to go out onto the streets, I want us to resist everything worldly, everything static, everything comfortable, everything to do with clericalism, everything that might make us closed in on ourselves. Here in Rio there will be plenty of noise, no doubt about that. Here there will be noise, I’m quite sure. Let me tell you what I hope will be the outcome of World Youth Day: I hope there will be noise.
