The WYD organization invites you all to read it so that you may be enriched by his words. We would also like for you to share it with all of your Facebook friends as part of our newest contest.

It’s very simple:

First of all, to participate you must be a member of the official WYD Madrid11 Facebook application: http://apps.facebook.com/amadrid/frases.php.
Read the Pope’s message and select your favorite quote (choose wisely, because you can’t change it!).
Share the selected quote through the tab [Message] you will find in the application. There will be an option to write the quote and share it on your profile, once a day, for one week.

From here, it’s your friends who will decide. The five phrases that receive the most “likes” will move on to the final round. From these five finalists, one winner will be chosen and receive a pair of tickets to be in the front row at the Vigil with the Pope at Cuatro Vientos on August 20, 2011.

Holy Father's WYD Message to the Youth

In a recent papal audience, the Holy Father touched on the theme for WYD 2011, "Planted and built up in Jesus Christ, firm in the Faith." Col 2:7. He asks the young people to root themselves in Jesus Christ and the faith in order to live life positively.

Pope Benedict XVI's Message for WYD 2011

With less than a year to go before we meet in Madrid to encounter Christ, the Holy Father has written a message inviting the youth of the world to WYD 2011 and to reflect on the importance of the theme, "Planted and built up in Jesus Christ, firm in the Faith". (Col 2:7) In his message he touches on the source of our deepest aspirations. He also recalls his experience during his youth, relating it to what we often go through. For the full message to read and reflect on:
