their journey of faith.

alive the zeal, the fire of the Spirit that always compels the followers of
Christ to reach those on the peripheries, to "step out of their comfort
zone and have the courage to reach all the suburbs that need the light of the
Gospel".
Pope
Francis finally urged the participants to help the men and women of today to
discover the beauty of faith and a life of grace, but in a way that is guided
