The young man presumes that he has kept all the commandments and Jesus answers that what is necessary is that he leave everything and follow Him. This gives a firm grounding and authenticity to values and permits the young man to reach his fulfillment as a person and as a Christian. The key to this fulfillment is found in fidelity, which Saint Paul referred to in the first reading as one of the characteristics of our Christian identity. Dear young people, whether you are believers or not, accept the call to be virtuous. This means being strong within, having a big heart, being rich in the highest sentiments, bold in the truth, courageous in freedom, constant in responsibility, generous in love, invincible in hope.
Happiness is achieved through sacrifice.
Do not look outside for what is to be found inside. Do not expect from others what you yourselves can and are called to be or to do. Do not leave for tomorrow the building of a new society in which the noblest dreams are not frustrated and in which you can be the principal agents of your own history. Remember that the human person and respect for the human person is the path to a new world. The world and humanity are deprived of their life-breath if they are not open to Jesus Christ.
