My dear young friends, I want to invite you to “dare to love”. Do not desire anything less for your life than a love that is strong and beautiful; a love that is capable of making the whole of your existence a joyful undertaking of giving yourselves as a gift to God and your brothers and sisters, in imitation of the One who vanquished hatred and death forever through love (cf. Rev. 5:13).
Pope Benedict XVI, World Youth Day 2007
