The young auditors who participated in the Synod organise a
show to thank the Pope and the Synod Fathers for listening throughout this
month of discussions
The young people who participated at the Synod organized an
evening of entertainment for the Pope and the Bishops who partook in the
gathering. Synod Fathers also got into the spirit of the occasion with Cardinal
Baldisseri performing two pieces on the piano. Poetry, dance, song and music
also formed part of the show in the Paul VI Hall complex.
Here is a translation of the message that the young
people read to the Pope at the end of Synod discussions:
Dearest Pope Francis,
We, the young people present at the Synod, want to take this
opportunity to express our gratitude and joy to you for having given us the
space to make this little piece of history together. New ideas need space and
you gave it to us. Today's world, which presents us young people with
unprecedented opportunities but also a lot of suffering, needs new answers and
new power of love. There is a need to rediscover hope and live the happiness
that is experienced in giving more than receiving, working for a better world.
We want to affirm that we share your dream: an outgoing
Church, open to all, especially the weakest, a field hospital Church. We are
already an active part of this Church and we want to continue to make a
concrete commitment to improve our cities and schools, and the social and
political world and working environments, by spreading a culture of peace and
solidarity and by putting the poor at the centre, in whom Jesus himself is
recognized.
At the end of this Synod we wish to tell you that we are with
you and with all the bishops of our Church, also in times of difficulty. We ask
you to continue the journey you have undertaken and we promise you our full
support and daily prayer.
