Video: Pope Asks What Legacy Will You Leave to Others?
The following is the voice-over of a new video of Pope Benedict XVI’s talk at the World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia in 2008.
“Dear young people, let me now ask you a question. What will you leave to the next generation?
“Are you building your lives on firm foundations, building something that will endure? Are you living your lives in a way that opens up space for the Spirit in the midst of a world that wants to forget God, or even rejects Him in the name of a falsely-conceived freedom?
“How are you using the gifts you have been given, the “power” which the Holy Spirit is even now prepared to release within you? What legacy will you leave to young people yet to come? What difference will you make?”
