What is the true meaning of life? What can free us from being trapped in meaninglessness, boredom and mediocrity? The fullness of our existence does not depend on what we store up or what we possess. Rather, fullness has to do with what we joyfully welcome and share.

Dear young people, Jesus is our hope. Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you.

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. If we open ourselves to Christ and follow His Word, He will also enlighten and transfigure our own lives. In this way, we can make His light shine in the world.

Every act of willingness, every gratuitous act, every gesture of forgiveness given in advance, every effort patiently accepted, is a way to create an environment where God can dwell. #GeneralAudience vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
