00:00On Tuesday evening here in St. Peter's Square, Archbishop Fisichella led the inauguration mass for the Jubilee of Youth.
00:17He welcomed the hundreds of thousands of young pilgrims who flocked to the capital on the occasion. Some of them arrived here from conflict zones and thanked them for making the effort.
00:31This is the largest event of the Vatican's ongoing Jubilee year. For the first time in its history, the Catholic Church has celebrated a two-day event entirely dedicated to digital missionaries and Catholic influencers as a way to show how much the digital environment has become a true mission field.
00:57As the Vatican's Secretary of State, Pauline, put it, quote, the digital world needs hope.
01:05And addressing digital missionaries at the end of the mass celebrated by Cardinal Tago on Tuesday, Pope Leo urged them to mend nets, nets of relationship, of love.
01:20And in a world torn by conflicts, the Pope highlighted the importance of spreading a message of peace.
01:30The Jubilee of Youth includes a series of meetings, events, activities culminating on Sunday when Pope Leo will lead a mass in Tor Vergata on the outskirts of Rome.
