The parishes have to prepare also for the welcoming the various pilgrim Churches, as a sign of ecclesial communion open to the world. As for the youth in the parishes, the general secretariates of the youth in the diocese should begin their action to this end. The young people themselves must take this opportunity in order to renew in a special way their faith and hope, even if the future seems difficult and perhaps dark. Similarily, all young Christians should be light, without any darkness in them at all.
Life is to be built in every situation of hardship, every risk of death or chance for survival.
Trials that last long might at times affect drastically our faith and throw doubts on the efficiency of prayer. Nevertheless, our faith in God remains unshakable. One has to die in order to rise to a new life. Parish priests and other persons carrying pastoral responsibility should keep this hope, in this time of preparation for the grace of the Jubilee. All apostolic movements are earnestly asked to focus their meditation and activities on the Jubilee.
