"The XXXI Youth Pilgrimage to the Shrine of Luján has the theme “Mother, help us care for life." We ask our Mother this grace: to help us take care of every life and all of life. We do this with the cry of filial devotion and with the confidence that Our Lady gives us. She said to St. Juan Diego: “Am I not your Mother?” Knowing that she is close to us with her motherly tenderness, gives us the strength to continue asking her, with a childlike hearts, “Mother, help us care for life.” And, in light of this filial prayer, I would like to submit to your consideration the problem of childhood affecting our city ... The increasingly widespread and deep moral degradation makes us ask how to regain respect for the life and dignity of our children. We have stolen the childhood of so many of them, and are are mortgaging their future and ours: a responsibility that, as a society, we share and that weighs heavily on those who have more power, education and wealth … All these realities upset us and make us face our responsibility as Christians, our obligations as citizens, our solidarity as members of a community that we want to be increasingly more human, more worthy and consistent with the dignity of man and of society.”
