Today the Church celebrates the Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord. If we open ourselves to Christ and follow His Word, He will also enlighten and transfigure our own lives. In this way, we can make His light shine in the world.
Dear young people, Jesus is our hope. Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you.
Pope Leo: Dear young people, Jesus is our hope…Aspire to great things, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not settle for less. You will then see the light of the Gospel growing every day, in you and around you. #jubileeofyouth

Musica, cori, testimonianze, grida di gioia. Sotto il sole, rinfrancati da un vento leggero e dalle bottigliette d’acqua distribuite gratuitamente, migliaia di giovani di tutto il mondo attendono l’arrivo di #PapaLeoneXIV a Tor Vergata
