Notes

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”

The message I personally feel like Pope John the 2nd was trying to convey is that Jesus is true happiness . In such a dark world, Jesus brings us hope. A hope for a better day, a day where we all can look at one another and love each other . Accepting all of our differences. The way I predict this will affect my future is that I will be more mindful, as for he shows me light. Showing me how to love my peers, it is a calm feeling of bliss. He helps show me how to respect others
