World Youth Parliament
Plenary Session - Rome 2009

Final Message

We, Young people from 17 nations, have gathered in Rome, the eternal city, to dream, to reflect, to share our concerns and our yearnings, with the firm desire to write with our lives a Magna Carta of values for a new civilization.

These days have been filled with intense listening and shared experience, with honest effort on the part of everyone to give and receive the best of each one.

We feel truly enriched, edified, strengthened by one another. Our shared experience has already been the palpable beginning of this new civilization that we wish to build.

We commit ourselves to continue exploring and making reality each one of these dreams that we have discovered both together and personally.

Throughout the coming year we will work together to express concretely which values we wish to defend and how we can put them into practice, and we will seek the way to continue to announce this great Project, the World Youth Parliament.

Certainly we wish to thank, in a special way, Fernando Rielo, Founder of the World Youth Parliament, for having believed in young people unconditionally and for having encouraged us to restore humanity beginning with ourselves.

This great aspiration that we have to live something that is truly pure, something that is even worth giving our lives for, will become reality, beyond doubt, if we have the help and the example of Him Who preceded us in doing so, our Divine Brother, Jesus Christ.
