(NECN, New York City) - During the closing remarks of Pope Benedict's homily at Yankee Stadium, he expressed his joy at seeing all the young faces at the youth rally Saturday, and offered some words of encouragement to them.

"My dear young friends, like the seven men, "filled with the Spirit and wisdom" whom the Apostles charged with care for the young Church, may you step forward and take up the responsibility which your faith in Christ sets before you! May you find the courage to proclaim Christ, "the same, yesterday, and today and for ever" and the unchanging truths which have their foundation in him (cf. Gaudium et Spes, 10; Heb 13:8)."
