Pope Francis: 'Take Life As It Comes, and Do Good for Others'

Pope Francis is urging young people to have courage and enjoy life to the full, in a personal video message he sent to a Texas diocese before leaving for World Youth Day in Poland.

The video, recorded in Spanish, was made for the Diocese of Brownsville, described by the Vatican as “one of the most impoverished areas” of the U.S. on the Mexican border.

“Play life to the full! Today, take life as it comes and do good for others,” the pope said in his message published July 26.
