Pope Francis greets young people on the Diocesan World Youth Day celebrated on this Solemnity of Christ the King. The Holy Father encouraged them to feel at home in the Church and to be protagonists today, helping the Church in her mission of living and proclaiming the Gospel in our lives and communities.
The Pope offered his “heartfelt” greetings to all young people, encouraging them to remember on this Feast of Christ the King, that “to reign is to serve”, encouraging everyone to repeat those words.
He also paid tribute to the pastoral service provided by chaplains of Stella Maris, an agency of the Catholic Church which offers practical and pastoral care to all seafarers.
