Holy Father Pope Francis had sent a message to the Young Minds of Asia, who were all set to head home after the most enthusiastic Asian youth Day that ended on 6th August,2017, in which His Holiness asked the young faithful to be courageous and to turn to Mother Mary as a model of what it means to be a missionary. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State had signed the telegram in which he reminded that Pope Francis prays for the young people from Asia will take up their vocational call with more courage and strength.
As reported by Catholic News Agency, His Holiness Pope Francis in his letter remarked that “As you seek to follow Christ Jesus more closely, they too, like the young woman of Nazareth, can truly improve the world and leave an imprint that makes a mark on history.”
The message of Pope Francis was sent on the final day of the Aug 2-6 Asian Youth Day gathering in Yogyakarta, Indonesia holding the theme “Joyful Asian Youth: Living The Gospel in Multi-Cultural Asia.”, where more than 2000 young Catholics from Asia came together.
