YOUNG PEOPLE: MAKE CHRIST KNOWN EVERYWHERE

VATICAN CITY, OCT 8, 2006 (VIS) - At midday today, after praying the Angelus in
St. Peter's Square, the Pope greeted 350 young "missionaries" from parishes,
associations, movements and communities of the diocese of Rome. They have been
participating, together with priests religious and seminarians, in the third
"mission of young people for young people" known as "Jesus at the center," held
from September 28 to October 8 in the streets of the historic center of Rome.

The Pope expressed his happiness at the young people's "joyous commitment" to
"announcing the Gospel in streets and squares, in schools and hospitals and in
the places of entertainment of young Romans. I encourage you to maintain this
missionary approach in your everyday lives, always seeking to take advantage of
diocesan training initiatives."

Addressing Polish pilgrims, the Pope recalled that yesterday, October 7, was
the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and he encouraged them to continue this
Marian prayer. "As John Paul II wrote, 'with the Rosary, Christian people join
Mary's school and allow themselves to be introduced to the contemplation of the
beauty of Christ's countenance and to the experience of the profundity of His
love.' May this prayer," Pope Benedict concluded, "be a source of abundant
grace for everyone."
