Today is the 28th World Youth Day, celebrated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by thousand of young pilgrims! These young people came from all over the world to be together!
'Christ, from high up on Corcovado, with arms wide open, invites us to get to know His Heart and to open our own, both to Him as well as to our fellow brothers, participating in His mission to make missionary disciples of all the nations.'
In His name, we pray!
Together we believe!
Standing proud!
Pope Francis on this special occasion stated:
“The Youth are the window through which the future enter the world”.

ReplyDeleteNoelle,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful day this is for all our youth to come together and celebrate in Brazil. I especially love the quote that Pope Francis said.
Have a nice weekend, Noelle.
