LISBON –Pope Francis has met with young people involved in an organisation he established personally in Buenos Aires, encouraging them to accept crises as a natural experience of life.
He said that moments of difficulty in life can be healthy and urged them to be compassionate in dealing with people less fortunate than themselves.
After a meeting in Lisbon with Catholic university students earlier Thursday morning, Pope Francis met with young people involved with Scholas Occurentes, a pet project of Pope Francis which he established while Archbishop of Buenos Aires to build “bridges of dialogue and encounter” in schools around the world through culture, sports, and technology.
