Indifference Kills; Be Signs of Hope, Pope Tells Young People

Indifference leads to apathy and can kill hope, Pope Francis told young people during an online audience.

He urged them to always be "signs of hope, especially in a time of great uncertainty and fear." Pope Francis' message to young people was clear: indifference is a killer.

He warned that it can lead to apathy, which in turn can kill hope.

The Holy Father said that this is especially important in a time of great uncertainty and fear, such as what we are currently experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Do not let indifference take over your hearts," he said. "Do not be afraid to show your faith and your hope in the future."

Pope Francis emphasized the importance of young people being "signs of hope" for the world.

He said that they have the power to make a difference and to build a better future for all.

"You are the future of the Church and of the world," he said. "Do not be afraid to take risks and to dream big. The world needs your enthusiasm and your idealism."

The Pope concluded his message by urging young people to always keep their eyes fixed on Jesus Christ.

He is the source of hope and the one who can never let you down.

"May you always be filled with his love and his peace."
