In Portugal, thousands reflect with pope on modern worries FMTNews FMTWorld
Worshippers pray during a Rosary and Candle procession at the Our Lady of Fatima shrine, in Fatima, central Portugal.
The crowd, which police estimated at about 800,000, listened to 14 meditations at each of the “stations of the cross” that were written by young people reflecting concerns such as war, mass shootings, domestic violence, child abuse, environmental degradation, bullying, cell-phone addiction, depression, eating disorders and burnout.
“All of this is linked to disordered lifestyles that cause some to starve while others get sick from overeating”. In his short, improvised address to the crowd at the start of the event, Francis said, “Loving is always a risk, but worth it”.
