Pope
Francis announces themes for World Youth Days
(Vatican
Radio) Pope Francis has decided on the themes for the next three World Youth
Days. These mark a three-year itinerary of spiritual preparation that will
culminate with the international WYD with the Successor of Peter scheduled for
Krakow in Poland in July 2016.
29th World Youth Day, 2014
“Blessed are the
poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Mt 5:3).
30th World Youth Day, 2015
“Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they will see God” (Mt 5:8)
31st World Youth Day, 2016 (Krakow)
“Blessed are the
merciful, for they will receive mercy” (Mt 5:7)
The three themes
are taken from the Gospel Beatitudes. In Rio de Janeiro, Pope Francis asked the
young people “with all my heart” to read the Beatitudes again and to make them
the action plan for their lives: “Look, read the Beatitudes: that will do you good!”
(cf. Meeting
with the youth from Argentina gathered in the Cathedral of São Sebastião, 25 July 2013).
