Young people around the world adored Pope John Paul II. He won their hearts and minds because he genuinely believed in their ability to change the world for the better. He cared about them. He respected them. Most important, he challenged them to a deep and profound love for Christ through his Church.

My Dear Young Friends, a collection of 52 weekly reflections on living in the Spirit, invites young people to read and act on Pope John Paul II's inspiring addresses to young people gathered at annual World Youth Day celebrations. Each weekly reflection in My Dear Young Friends contains the following sections:

A Scripture passage related to the theme for the week

A message from Pope John Paul II

"Think About That," which asks the reader to ponder the Pope's message

"Take Action," which invites the reader to act on the Pope's message

"Say a Prayer," which inspires the reader to keep the Pope's words fresh in heart and mind

"Did You Know?" which includes a fact about the Pope's life

Bring the heartwarming messages of the Pope directly to the teens you love--they will be inspired and transformed each week of the year.
