Pope Leo XIV sends a video message to the participants in the 7th National Youth Day of Ecuador, held in Ibarra from July 31 to August 2 on the theme "Take courage, I have overcome the world" (Jn 16:33). The Pontiff urges the young people to listen to God's call and follow it with determination, letting themselves be transformed by Christ's love to become promoters of forgiveness, reconciliation and peace, recalling that today the Church needs their joy, their courage and their witness so that many others may encounter Christ.
