Holy Father Pope Francis has sent a video message to the youth of Canada gathered in preparation for the Synod of Bishops 2018 and invited them to build bridges through social communications without allowing their youthful enthusiasm for the Gospel be snuffed out. His Holiness also urged the youth to use new channels of communication positively and not to let them be ruined by those bent only on exploiting and destroying them.
As reported by Vatican Radio, Holy Father Pope Francis remarked that “Don’t let your youth be stolen from you and don’t build walls of division but build bridges, like this one which you are crossing and which allows you to communicate from the shores of two oceans.” Further, His Holiness added, “Jesus turns his gaze to you and invites you to come to him, have you heard his voice? I’m sure that even though din and daze seem to reign in the world, this call continues to sound in your being, calling you to open up to the fullness of joy.”
His Holiness encouraged the young faithful to be courageous and invited them to open themselves to Christ and reminded them that “Jesus is with you and awaits from you a resounding “Here, I am””
