Pope Francis at the World Youth Day


People greet the Pope as he visits the Varginha slum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, July 25, 2013.
I am sure you have already read many reports of Pope Francis's visit to World Youth Day. From TV channels to Radio Stations, Internet, Facebook, twitter and the entire print media were reporting from Rio the happenings over there. All of them have spoken highly about the impact that Pope Francis has made. He has touched the hearts of everyone who has participated. The Cardinals and Bishops were full of praise for his human approach and wanting to be Life Jesus has touched million hearts on the globe. I feel it is the working of the Holy Spirit who is now active through Pope Francis. The face, heart and mind of the Holy Mother Church is up for renewal. 3 Million youth! Unthinkable and unimaginable crowd, All of them listening to his homilies, words of encouragement, words of challenge, to be aware of the present situation and inviting them all to bring Jesus Gospel to all. I am sure these words of Pope Francis going to set them on fire and there is going to be a new Pentecost for all but especially for the Youth.

Let us all collaborate and cooperate to materialise the dream of Pope Francis. Pope Francis's words: God! Do not be Afraid! Serve!

The message is for all. What he said, "You are call to serve people because the life of Jesus is a life for others. It is life of service. He reminded them that “Evangelizing means bearing personal witness to the love of God, it is overcoming our selfishness, and it is serving by bending down to wash the feet of our brethren, as Jesus did.”
