Papal message to Taizé youth meeting
December 28, 2015
Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State, has sent a message on behalf of Pope Francis to the thousands of young people who are gathering in Valencia, Spain, for a meeting organized by Taizé, the ecumenical monastic community.
“By your practice of solidarity and mercy, may you live that demanding happiness, rich in meaning, to which the Gospel calls you,” said Cardinal Parolin. “The Holy Father wishes that during these beautiful days that you gather in Valencia, praying and sharing among yourselves, you may better discover Christ, ‘the face of the Father’s mercy.’”
