Today we ended our pilgrimage with FI Youth. We got to know the experience of Andean America and the Dominican Republic. Then we crossed the sea and shared the experience of the FI Youth from Spain. From there we went to the Philippines, where the young people of the Indian-Pacific Province showed us how hope becomes life in simple and profound gestures.
Today we meet with the young IFs from East Asia, who have also lived this time of preparation with enthusiasm and faith.
Press play and let yourself be infected by the joy and hope of young people.
In these days in which we celebrate St. James the Apostle, patron of pilgrims, we recognize the profound meaning of each of these experiences lived in the provinces: they have been true pilgrimages, not only physical, but also spiritual. They have helped us to discover Jesus, to strengthen our faith, to live the charism of Mother Candida and to open our hearts to others.
Like St. James, who walked to proclaim the Good News, our young people have also gone out to the encounter, and that walk now leads them to a new milestone: the encounter in Rome with the universal Church. A pilgrimage that does not end, but widens, grows and deepens.
Let us continue to accompany young people, sharing their joys, their dreams and also their challenges. They are the face of hope for our Church and our charismatic family.
