“Via Lucis” opens the jubilee of teenagers

Vatican News

Dear young people, we want to test the joy of celebrating your jubilee as teenagers, and wandering in some stages of Via Lucis: the path of Christ existing with their disciples. Our life is full of weddings, sorrows, questions and questions, but also from expectations and hopes. The Church of the Saint Pedro and Babo in the EUR neighborhood to live in the first work of the Jubilee: Luceis, a prayer initiative born in 1988 in the Boskian family, and lived for the first time in 1990, in Katacomops in San Calico, in Rome.

On Easter Easter, adolescents from Italy and from all over the world are accompanied by the resurrection atmosphere by praying at seven stations (not in the 14 churches) with reading the passage of the Bible, part of the prayer as a Kurali and a third part recited from 4-5 teenagers. An opportunity to go to the life of Jesus and direct Pope Francis from the perspective of the Resurrection and eternal life.

Songs, sentences, reflections

From Plaza De San Pedro, where many went to the Vatican Bazilika to provide their respect for the deadly remains in the bus, by bus and public transport, the wave of boys and girls moved to Esplanade from the famous church designated for the sponsor of Rome.

They waved the flags, they sang with the chorus of the diocese of Rome, and above all, he prayed at such a special moment in the life of the international church. The Youth Theater Group has read the seven clips of stations and reflections, taken from the Bible and the Acts of the Apostles. With background music, Virgin icon and the Intellectual Song of 2000 WYD were distinguished Jesus Christ, you are my life.

“Through Lucis, the young vocal judgment travels, at the time of Easter, explains the confrontations of Jesus in the face of eyewitnesses from the Resurrection, from Easter day to Pentecost,” explains Father Massimo Tilan, Commissioner of the Roman Parish Parachi at the time of prayer.

The author of the various texts, the priest explains that while writing, “Think about what the young man was wondering when he met the witnesses of the Resurrection.”

In the narration, the teenagers, in the narration, went to Rome to live the jubilee, but a joke from the application was invalidated to the past, 2000 years ago, in the period after the resurrection of Jesus. Both meet with Santa Maria Magdalina, Santo Thomas, San Juan, San Pedro and many others, who help them try to return to Rome. Here, what adolescents can discover is that the witnesses who find them do not show them the way back to their era, but they helped them understand what is “returning to the homeland.”

Direct pain with hope

Like Pascual Cirio, he was present next to the coffin of the Pope last Wednesday during the transfer to Basilica, the same Sirio is the Via Lucis champion and the flame was seven flames. “For us, the believers, the funeral is accompanying the Father’s home,” continues to explain without Massimo, “and you are able to pray with this perspective helps them to see this moment of transition and pain in the light of hope that does not disappoint you, and he is Christ himself.”
