At the concluding Mass for this year’s World Youth Day, Pope Francis echoed the words of the Apostles who witnessed the Transfiguration of Christ on the Mount: “It is good for us to be here!”

“We, too, need light, a burst of light that is hope to face so much darkness that assails us in life,” the Pope said. That light, he explained,"is Jesus, because He is the light that does not go out, the light that shines even in the night." It is Jesus, he said,"that enlightens our eyes, enlightens our heart, enlightens our mind, enlightens our desire to do something in life, always with the light of the Lord.

“We become luminous, we shine, when, welcoming Jesus, we learn to love like Him. To love like Jesus: that makes us luminous, that leads us to do works of love.”Continuing his reflection on the Transfiguration, Pope Francis noted the words of God the Father to the Apostles, commanding them to listen to His beloved Son."It's all here," the Pope said,"all that is to be done in life: Listen to HIm. Listen to Jesus, every secret is there.

The Pope acknowledged the fears of young people, who “have great dreams” but fear they might not come true, who may be tempted by pessimism or discouragement, or who feel that their efforts are not enough.
