Young people from Nossa Senhora Youth Teams greeted Pope Francis for an audience in the Apostolic Palace with cheers and chants.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, the Pope focused on the three words that make up the name of the youth group: team, Our Lady, and youth. He spoke of the importance of being a part of a team.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS Pope Francis reminded the group that being part of a community is essential in taking risks and overcoming the challenges of life. <\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS In this virtual age and the consequent loneliness into which many of your peers fall, you have chosen to grow as a team, as a group. Go ahead, build bridges, play as a team! Get it? As a team. <\/em><\/p>\n To help them on their journey, the Pope encouraged the group to foster relationships with their grandparents as a source of strength and wisdom.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS Pope Francis ended the meeting by blessing the group in Latin. <\/p>\n The Nossa Senhora Youth Teams is a youth group founded in 1976 to connect young people who share a desire to grow in their spiritual lives together.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n KG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 08, 2022.

\n<\/strong>You experience being a team, a group. This is a gift. It is not to be taken for granted! To be part of a community, a family of families that conveys a lived faith is a great gift! No one can say, 'I save myself.' No. <\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Do not be afraid to open up, to take risks; and do not be afraid of others. It is true that there is bullying, abuse, lies, betrayals, but, believe me, the problem is not defending myself from others; my concern will have to be defending the victims.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The future belongs to young people. Beware, however! Young people with two qualities: young people with wings and with roots. With wings to fly and roots to stand on the ground. Wings to fly, to dream, to create; and roots to receive from the elders the wisdom they offer you.<\/em><\/p>\n
