"My dear young friends, I hope to see very many of you in Sydney in July 2008.
It will be a providential opportunity to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit's power.
Come in great numbers in order to be a sign of hope and to give appreciative support to the Church community in Australia that is preparing to welcome you.
I invite you to give time to prayer and to your spiritual formation during this last stage of the journey leading to the XXIII World Youth Day,
so that in Sydney you will be able to renew the promises made at your Baptism and Confirmation.
Together we shall invoke the Holy Spirit, confidently asking God for the gift of a new Pentecost for the Church and for humanity in the third millennium."
BENEDICTUS PP. XVI
