Pope Francis imposes apostolate to young people in Brazil

Pope Francis asked the thousands of young people from 190 countries that attended today to give him the official welcome to the XXVIII World Youth Day (WYD), to  “put Christ in their lives”.

“Having the money, the power can provide a moment of drunkenness, the illusion of being happy, but at the end it will  dominate us and lead us to want more and more, to never be satisfied. Put Christ” in your life, put your trust in him and you won’t be disappointed! “, said Pope Francis, who said that faith carries out a revolution in every person’s life.

The Pontiff also told them that they should not be afraid to ask God for forgiveness. “He never gets tired of forgiving us, as a father who loves us. God is pure mercy! “.“Jesus awaits us, the counts on us”, with this sentence the first Latin American Pope concluded his speech

Francisco is visiting in Brazil until next Sunday, where he is chairing the World Youth Day before thousands of faithful Catholics, especially Latin Americans, among whom there are about 800 Ecuadorians. Yesterday, as usual, he broke protocol and ventured in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, where he walked alongside the people and entered to pray in a humble church located in the heart of the populous neighborhood.
