On December 16, 2008, the Vatican announced the themes for the next three World Youth Days, which will help young Catholics prepare for the international gathering in 2011.
Pope Benedict XVI chose, "We have set our hope on the living God" (1 Tm 4:10) for the 2009 Diocesan level celebrations.
In 2010, also at the Diocesan level, the theme will be, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" (Mk 10:17)
"Rooted and built up in Jesus Christ, firm in the faith" (Col 2:7) was chosen for the 26th World Youth Day hosted in Madrid, Spain. The Vatican press release said that these themes were chosen by the pope "to help build a spiritual itinerary that will lead to the international WYD scheduled to take place in Madrid."
