Pope Urges Youth to Seek True Freedom
The 37th International Youth Festival launched in Medjugorje, with the participation of tens of thousands of young people from 73 countries, under the theme "To the Source." The festival's activities included prayer, Christian education, reflection on the mystery of repentance, and spiritual communion, with a focus on seeking the truth that liberates humanity. Pope Leo XIV called on youth not to settle for fleeting happiness but to seek the faith-based truth that grants true freedom. He emphasized the importance of following Christ, opening oneself to the work of the Holy Spirit, and persevering in Christian witness in the face of a culture of quick success and false material appearances. He also stressed the importance of "bearing witness through fidelity" and defending religious values, especially in light of recent attacks on Medjugorje. The Pope called for confronting these challenges with wisdom, love, and peace. The first day concluded with communal prayer in a reverent atmosphere, along with an invitation to participate in the festival through media channels and to spread messages of love and tolerance.
