VATICAN CITY, APR 24, 2004 (VIS) - The Holy Father this morning received 210 young people from the archdiocese of Rouen in France, accompanied by the diocesan administrator, Fr. Christian Nourrichard.
"You came to Rome," the Pope told the priests, seminarians, religious and lay faithful, "to live a week of retreat and fraternal life. I especially pray for those of you who will be confirmed on Monday. I invite you to make this pilgrimage a time of spiritual enrichment. You will be able to discern the will of the Lord who wishes to help you lead a beautiful life; your interior life will have new impetus. Do not be afraid of opening your heart and allowing Christ to speak to you. Learn to regularly make time for prayer and for mediating on the Gospel."
