Next year’s event will be the 31st edition of World Youth day which was founded in Rome in 1986 by Pope John Paul II, the first Polish pontiff who had also served as Archbishop of Krakow. “Thanks to this electronic device, I signed up as a simple pilgrim”. It marks the official beginning of Holy Week during which Christians observe the death of Christ before celebrations begin on Easter.
Prior to signing up for the event, the Pope called for the release of Italian Jesuit priest Paola Dall’Oglio was kidnapped two years earlier in Syria. Pope Francis is scheduled to attend the event that will be focused on the theme from the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy”.

He’s talking about it in the terms of human lives: “That fact that we are exploiting not just people now, but the future, and if we don’t act now in this current time, we are destroying the world for the future generation”.
The paper added: “The pope’s appearance at the World Meeting of Families is expected to have a major impact on Middletown’s Woodbourne SEPTA train station and nearby roads, Bartorilla said”. “If we are willing to put them in the Lord’s hands they will be enough so that there will be a little bit more love, peace, justice and above all joy in the world”.
