Official song for World Youth Day 2023 released Jan 30th, 2021 The official theme song for World Youth Day (WYD) 2023, scheduled to take place in Lisbon, Portugal, was released on Wednesday, exactly two years after the announcement of the city chosen by Pope Francis to host the next world meeting for young people. Titled 'Há Pressa no Ar' (There's a rush in the air'), the song is inspired by the WYD 2023 theme: 'Mary rose up and went with haste' (Lk 1:39). It recalls the 'Yes' of Our Lady and her rush to meet her cousin Elizabeth, who was also pregnant. The song invites young people to identify with Our Lady, "disposing themselves to serve, to the mission and to the transformation of the world" . The lyrics also evoke the 'party' of WYD and the joy that comes from Jesus. Read More |
Laudato Si’ Action Platform (Launch 25th May 2021)
What world do we want to leave to our children and our young? On 25 May, the new Laudato Si Platform for Action was presented in Rome. The Laudato Si’ Action Platform is a unique collaboration between the Vatican, an international coalition of Catholic organizations, and “all men and women of good will".
Pope Francis Invitation - Call for Action Pope Francis sends a message to launch the new Laudato si' Action Platform: Source: Vatican News 25th May 2021 The Pope explains that the Laudato si' Action Platform is "a seven-year journey that will see our communities committed in different ways to becoming totally sustainable, in the spirit of integral ecology." He invites everyone to "embark on this journey together," and particularly calls on the involvement of "families - parishes and dioceses - schools and universities - hospitals - businesses and farms - organisations, groups and movements - religious institutes." Work together, he stresses, as "only in this way will we be able to create the future we want: a more inclusive, fraternal, peaceful and sustainable world." Bringing his message to a close, Pope Francis recalls that "there is hope." Working together, he says, "each one with his own culture and experience, each one with her own initiatives and capacities, so that our mother Earth may be restored to her original beauty and creation may once again shine according to God’s plan."
