Editor’s note: Pope Francis on Saturday met with thousands of young people gathered at the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna. Speaking at the end of his second day of his three-day visit to Hungary’s capital, the Holy Father encouraged his audience to be energetic disciples of Jesus, who “wants us to be alive, active, ready to take charge.” Below is the official English translation of his address.
The Blessed Virgin Mary never allowed herself to be “paralyzed by pride or fear,” but she arose and went with haste to humbly offer a helping hand, the pope told young Catholics on Saturday.
The pope’s address concluded his three-day visit to Greece.
