DRC Congo: Pope Francis Meets Thousands of Youths in Kinshasa
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare via Whatsapp

On his third-day visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Pope Francis met with young people and catechists at the Martyrs’ Stadium in Kinshasa. This was a crucial meeting for the pope in a country of nearly 95 million people where more than 65 percent of the Congolese are under 25 years old.

It is also one of the top countries in the world with the youngest population. The Pope delivered a speech with an encouraging tone urging his audience to consider prayer as the most powerful weapon available.

My friends, do not let your youth be spoiled by solitude and closure. Always think of yourselves together and you will be happy because the community is the way to live in harmony with yourself and to be faithful to your vocation. On the contrary, individualistic choices seem attractive at first, but then they leave only a great inner emptiness. Think of drugs; you hide from others, from real life, to feel all-powerful; and in the end, you find yourself deprived of everything,” said Pope Francis.

He had refused, because of his Catholic faith, to participate in the vast network of corruption that was evident in the region. The papal visit to the DRC ends this Friday. He is expected in South Sudan on the same day.
