His Holiness Pope Francis sent a message of encouragement to the youth participating in the annual summer conference of the Latin Church in Egypt, which is being at St. Mark’s House, Burj Al Arab, Alexandria, Egypt, under the slogan “My Prayer Is My Paddle,” from the fourth to the eighth of this July.
The Holy Father encouraged the young men and women to delve deeper into the meaning of Prayer in their lives, and called on them to be apostles of the Gospel and witnesses of joy and hope. The Supreme Pontiff also granted his apostolic blessing to His Eminence Bishop Claudio Lurati, Bishop of the Latin Apostolic Vicariate of Alexandria, and all participants in the conference.
