The total surrender in the midst of the world 3 00:00:09,029 --> 00:00:12,280 There is no vocation more religious work.
A Catholic layman, man or woman is one who takes the job seriously.
Only Christianity has a religious meaning to the work
and recognizes the spiritual value of technological progress.

live united to God in the world in any situation,
each striving to be better with the help of grace
and giving to know Christ through the witness of his life.
Is there anything more beautiful and exciting that this ideal?
You, entered and mixed in this humanity joyful and painful, you want to love her,
lighten it, save it, you may be blessed and always spirited on your engagement!
It is worthwhile to devote himself to man by Christ to bring Him
to elevate, to help you on the path to eternity;

This precious value of Christianity.
Bear witness to Christ among your peers.
Therefore, strengthen your life of believers,

and you may follow the voice of the Holy Spirit.
And if this voice calling you to a higher and generous love, not fear.
With my heart on fire, talking with the Lord,
maybe some of you notice that Jesus asks for more,
who calls you by His love, He asks that delivered everything.
Dear young people, I would say to each one:
if this call comes over your heart, not to suffocate.
Let them grow to maturity of a true vocation.
Collaborates with the voice of prayer and fidelity to the commandments.
There is, as you know, a great need for vocations
committed lay people to follow Christ more closely.
"The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few;
I asked for the owner of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest. "
Young! With this program the church speaks to you. I asked you too.
And if the fruit of this prayer of the Church come to be born in the depths of your heart,
Hear ye the Master says: "Follow me."
Do not be afraid and give him your heart and your life if He will ask for it.
The vocation to love, understood as genuine openness to our fellow
as human beings and solidarity with them,
is the most fundamental of all vocations.
She is the origin of all vocations in life.
That is what Jesus sought in youth, when I said:
"Keep the commandments." In other words:
"Serve God and your neighbor, according to all requirements of a faithful heart and right".
And when the young man said that already went that route, Jesus invited him to an even greater love:
"Let everything that concerns you, and unite me to the immense task of saving the world."
Along the way the existence of each person, the Lord has something for everyone to do.
Proclaiming the Word of God, dear young people,
not a matter only for the priests or religious, but also to you.
You must have the courage to speak about Christ in your families,
environment in your study, work or recreation,
animated by the same fervor of the apostles when they said:
"For us, we can not say what we saw and heard."
Also you must not be silent!
There are places and situations where only you can take the seed of the Word of God.
Do not be afraid to bring Christ to those who do not yet know.
Christ is the true answer, the most complete,
all the questions that relate to man and his destiny.
Without him the man remains an unsolved puzzle.
Tends for the courage to propose Christ!
Surely we must do so with due respect
freedom of conscience of each one, but even so, we must do it.
Help a brother or sister to discover Christ, Way,
Truth and Life, is a true act of love for neighbor.
