Pope Francis took this opportunity to send a video message to the young people attending the meeting, expressing his appreciation and gratitude. He pointed out, “This is a work of reflection and witnessing through three key words: action, gratuitousness and encounter. A truly human, rather than commercial, encounter should be unrequited. When there is an encounter, it must There is action.” These three words, the Pope said, “embody some very human aspects.”
The Pope expressed his gratitude for the cooperation between the Youth Education Network and Encounter Schools. He said, “An intuition, although it has been around for a long time, has not yet fully realized its potential. This is an important thing to be revealed in the long future.” The pope also expressed his gratitude to the Brazilian authorities for “allowing and supporting such activities.”
An announcement from Encounter School stated that this Youth World Congress ended with the Pope’s video speech. He emphasized at the end of his speech, “This international event is an example of reflection and witnessing work. I hope that this conference will enable hundreds of young people from different parts of the world to be willing to repeat it with a sense of mission after returning to their respective groups. Learn from their experiences of tolerance and harmonious coexistence through dialogue with their peers.”
The announcement pointed out that more than 100 young people from 80 cities in 25 countries participated in the four-day conference held in Sao Paulo. “Amidst the recent terrorist attacks in the Middle East that have shocked the world,” the conference is organizing “a conference on coexistence, intercultural dialogue and diversity, with the aim of contributing to the building of a more just and united world.”
