 Pope Francis’ meeting with the thousand young people gathered in Assisi, from September 22-24, 2022, began with these words from the prophet Isaiah. They arrived from every corner of the world: from Aotearoa New Zealand to Patagonia, from Thailand to Mozambique and Mexico. Thanks to the coordination of the Focolare Movement, these young people – including students, entrepreneurs, activists and game-changers – were housed in 12 villages, set up between the historic center of Assisi and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli.
