And he invited to respond to the questions that arise “behind so many difficulties, loneliness, and psychological fragilities (…) Does my life have any meaning? Is there a reliable hope for the future?.”
He also lamented that “many young people today live under the yoke of expectations and performance, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.”

He also urged addressing the issue of mental health not only as a clinical or technical matter but also working to “cultivate the inner life.”
“In fact, it is not enough to connect young people to digital networks if they then remain disconnected from themselves, from others, and from their own interiority. Cultivating the inner life means helping new generations rediscover silence, reflection, the ability to ask questions, the depth of relationships, and openness to transcendence,” he explained.
