Papal message to British Catholic youth

March 10, 2015

Pope Francis sent a message to 8,000 British Catholic youth who had gathered in London on March 7 for a conference.

Quoting words that he spoke in the Philippines in January, the Pope said, “Let yourselves be surprised by God: don't be afraid of surprises, afraid that they will shake you up … Think of Saint Francis: he left everything, he died with empty hands, but with a full heart.”
