The Holy Father and the Patriarch will make their way to the stage, where they will be welcomed by two Bishops as the choir begins a hymn.
The event will open with the Sign of the Cross, followed by a prayer of invocation. Then, the Patriarch of Antioch of the Maronites will offer his welcome address. Afterward, the Gospel will be proclaimed, and a 5D scenic presentation will be shown.
Two volunteers will then share their testimonies, followed by the testimony of a young woman and a brief hymn. Another young woman, accompanied by her mother, will also offer her testimony, after which another hymn will be sung.
Next, two young people will pose questions, leading into the ADDRESS of the Holy Father.
The gathering will continue with the “Youth Promise of Peace and Action” rite, followed by a prayer of thanksgiving and the final blessing. The young participants will then present a gift to the Holy Father, before the event concludes with a final hymn.
At the end of the encounter, the Pope will head to the courtyard of the Patriarchate for a group photo with the Patriarchs present and the organizers of the event.
