More than a million Catholic youth from various corners of the world gathered in Rome for a mass worship—Mass—organized by the Vatican as part of the "Youth Jubilee." Most participants spent the night in tents, sleeping bags, and on mats.
Pope Leo XIV said during Sunday's Mass: "We are closer than ever to the youth who suffer most from the evil of others."
He also expressed solidarity with the younger generations suffering from war, stating, "We stand with the youth of Gaza, we stand with the youth of Ukraine, we stand with those whose homelands are bleeding from war."
