Pope Francis has urged the young Africans to reject corruption, war and violence on the final day of his visit to Congo.
“Prayer is the most powerful weapon there is,” Pope Francis told thousands of young adults and catechists in the Democratic Republic of Congo today as he pleaded for peace.
He preached his message before a crowd of 65,000 young people assembled for a rally in the Martyrs’ Stadium in Kinshasa, the capital city, on the third day of his African “peace pilgrimage”.
The Holy Father said: “Yes, prayer conquers fear and enables us to take our future into our hands. Do you believe this?
