To youth, he said: «Dear young people always draw from Christ present in the Eucharist the spiritual food to advance along the way of sanctity.»

The Holy Father added: «[F]or you, dear sick people, may Christ be the support and comfort in your trial and suffering; and for you, dear newlyweds, may the sacrament which has rooted you in Christ be the source that nourishes your daily love.»
