The young people who have travelled to Lisbon are waiting for Pope Francis to celebrate together the 37th World Youth Day, the first after the Covid-19 pandemic. The Pope sets off to Portugal with the awareness that these"gatherings are powerful, that they have the strength even to change the lives of some people".
The Holy Father has many expectations for this upcoming World Youth Day in Lisbon, and already in several video messages he has invited young people to join him in this pilgrimage and to prepare this ecclesial event, above all, in prayer. The Pope prays for all the young people who have already set out for Lisbon in these days, in the conviction, in the knowledge, that these meetings, these gatherings have great power, the strength even to change the lives of some.
Therefore, this prophetic intuition seems to me to be manifested in all its relevance even in our current day. This prophetic intuition retains all its relevance in current times because it aims to reaffirm the Church's commitment to the younger generations.
This situation, of which we must be aware and which we must take into consideration, closely touches the existence of young people who harbour within themselves many queries, many doubts and many questions to which they do not know how to respond. Therefore, what young people ask of the Church is for the Church to renew its apostolic impetus and, without fear, embark on that path of pastoral and missionary conversion that is so much desired by the Holy Father.
