Pope Benedict XVI, meeting on 4 June 2011, in the evening on the square Ban Josip Jelačicia in the center of Zagreb, the young generation of Croats, pointed out that youth is the time that God gives to discover the meaning of life. The Holy Father pointed out that in every human heart lies a strong desire for happiness. But very often man hopes for what does not satisfy this desire, and even reveals all its temporality. And then you need something that goes beyond what gives meaning to everyday life. In search of the meaning of Jesus, accompaniedby a man, which allows you a closer look at the love of God the Father, and to understand that our happiness is carried out in friendship and communion with Him, because we have been created and saved by love. Benedict XVI teaches that just as in the times of totalitarianism through faith transmitted in families it was possible the survival of nations, as well as in today's society is necessary and urgently needed is the presence of exemplary Christian families. This is especially important in Europe, especially in the face of rampant secularization which leads to pushing God to the margins of life and escalating family breakdown. The Holy Father also calls for the fact that with humility and courage to be the conscience of society, the salt of the earth and light of the world. Calls for constant fidelity to Christ and the message of the Gospel, in a society that seeks to relativize and secularize all aspects of life.
