Wall Eileen Castro Matthews – Vatican City

Pope Liu fourteenth chose a strong feeling of enthusiasm among the Catholic youth in Latin America and the Caribbean. From every corner of their lands, the youth community receives enthusiasm and confidence at this moment, and sees a clear sign that God continues to contact and direct it.

Joy and hope from the deepest heart

The statement of the Latin American team and the Caribbean Sea region of pastoral events (Elapj), published by ADN Silam, reflects these feelings: “We make us deeply happy because the Holy Spirit has led this ecclesiastical moment, and the choice of the priest with a heart close to people.” For young people, every rhythm in their hearts represents a work of faith and hope in the future, despite the existing challenges.

A new leader listens, accompanying and speaking from the heart

The message confirms that Pope Liu XIV is seen by young people as a leader “a heart close to people”, and he cares about the signs of time. Young people in Latin America and the Caribbean region feel that there is a priest who understands their facts, fears and desires, and that their leadership brings with them the hope of renewing the entire society of faith.

“We are happy that the Holy Spirit has led this moment,” they express enthusiastically, and the interpretation of this choice as a call to growth, transform their lives and strengthen their societies with faith and commitment.

Prayer and commitment: the force that drives the mission of the youth

Al -Rahwi reaffirms his commitment to pray for the Pope, asking that “the Lord strengthens his mission of conducting the Church with openness, tenderness and prophetic beams.” Prayer is the power that feeds his enthusiasm and his desire to be active heroes in the mission of preaching joy, creativity and passion.

“He has our prayers and our willingness to cooperate actively in the common task,” they say with hope, convinced that their role is essential in building a more just and peaceful and supportive world.

Virgin Guadalobi: The mother and the protector at this new stage

The letter concludes with a summons full of faith towards the Virgin of Guadalobi, the mother of the continent’s youth. The spirituality of the youth is renewed in this request: It, with its mother’s tenderness, accompanies and protects the Pope on this path, which inspires it to continue building a civilization of love and justice.

This greeting, loaded with rapprochement and faith, reflects the deep hope of an entire young man, who sees in his new back an opportunity to continue his life on hope, service and commitment to the Gospel in the center of the world.
