“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.” – St. Pope John Paul II

Francis Xavier?)
