“Unfortunately he died very young, in 2006, at only 15 years old, but in his life he did many beautiful things in just a few years. Above all he was passionate about Jesus; and since he was very good at surfing the Internet, he used it in the service of the Gospel, spreading the love of prayer, the testimony of faith and charity towards others,” he explained.
The Holy Father highlighted that the blessed teenager lived prayer, witness and charity with considerable commitment, spending “a lot of time with Jesus, especially at Mass, in which he participated every day, and prayed in front of the tabernacle and then announced to everyone, with words and gestures of love, that God loves us and always waits for us.”
During the meeting, Pope Francis encouraged the young people who will receive Confirmation to be “a testimony of how beautiful it is to be with Jesus and how much He loves us.” “I bless you from the bottom of my heart,” concluded the Pontiff.
