Truth, Proclamation and Authenticity of Life in the Digital Age

*trumpets sound and drums roll*
It is the 45TH WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY!

At least, today's the day we get the Pope's message.

Okay, so I doubt I have been "using wisely new communications technologies" or "contributing to the satisfaction of the desire for meaning, truth and unity which remain the most profound aspirations of each human being", but I - I'll try a little harder. :)

“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. “It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.”     -Pope John Paul II
