教宗良十四世发表世界青年日文告：把你们的问题与创伤带到基督面前
梵蒂冈11月3日发布教宗良十四世为第四十一届世界青年日准备的文告。文告以「你们要鼓起勇气：我已经战胜了世界」（若望福音16:33）为主题，已于10月22日圣若望保禄二世纪念日签署；本届世界青年日将于11月22日基督君王节在各地教会庆祝，国际聚会定于2027年8月3日至8日在韩国首尔举行。
教宗在文告中对青年说，有些人懂得什么是孤独、失望，以及觉得自己「不够好」的恐惧；正是在这样的处境里，福音邀请人鼓起勇气。他提到青年承受的压力：对未来的焦虑、被要求成功并显得完美的压力、在社交媒体精心营造的形象影响下不断与他人或与难以企及的标准比较，以致难以认清并接纳真实的自己。他指出，信仰不会立刻驱散黑暗，但也不会让人独自留在黑暗中；科技无法取代真实的人际亲近，只能模仿共情。
教宗勉励青年向基督敞开自己的生活与社区：「把你们的问题与创伤带到基督面前，也把那些撕裂你们社会、使你们国家彼此对立的创伤带到他面前；把受造界的呻吟、以及方济各教宗教导我们聆听的大地与穷人的呼声带到他面前。」他提醒准备前往首尔的青年：不要只准备旅途的实际事务，也要准备你们的心。
文告结尾，教宗重提圣若望保禄二世的话作勉励：「不要害怕！向基督敞开大门。」世界青年日由圣若望保禄二世于1985年创立，每年在各地教会庆祝，并定期举行国际聚会。

Pope Leo XIV Releases World Youth Day Message: Bring to Christ Your Questions and Wounds
The Vatican released on November 3 Pope Leo XIV's message for the 41st World Youth Day. The message, on the theme "Take courage: I have conquered the world!" (John 16:33), was signed on October 22, the memorial of Saint John Paul II. World Youth Day will be celebrated in local Churches on November 22, the Solemnity of Christ the King, and its international gathering will be held in Seoul, South Korea, from August 3 to 8, 2027.
In the message, the Pope tells young people that some of them know what it means to experience loneliness, disappointment, or the fear of not being good enough, and that it is in circumstances like these that the Gospel's invitation to take courage is heard. He names the pressures weighing on the young: anxiety about the future, pressure to succeed and appear perfect, and the stress of constant comparison with others or with unattainable, manufactured ideals under the influence of carefully curated social media images, which can make it hard to recognize and accept who they truly are. Faith, he writes, does not immediately dispel the darkness, but neither does it leave us alone in it; and technology cannot replace authentic human closeness, but can only imitate empathy.
"Bring to Christ your questions and your wounds," the Pope writes, "but also the wounds that tear apart your societies and set your countries against one another. Bring to him this creation that groans and suffers, the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor, which Pope Francis taught us to hear." Preparing for Seoul, he adds, means more than preparing the practical things for the trip: "prepare your hearts."
The message closes with the words of Saint John Paul II: "Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ." World Youth Day was established by Saint John Paul II in 1985 and is celebrated annually in local Churches, with periodic international gatherings.
