杏MAP导航 Francis in Korea four years ago: Asian youth, wake up!

杏MAP导航 Francis, in August 2014 joined the 6th Asian Youth Day in South Korea from 13 to 18. August 13, marks the 4th anniversary of his arrival there. He joined in the youth rally and brought the curtains down on the event with a Mass on the 17th in Daejeon.

Youth delegations from Asian countries gathered in Daejeon, South Korea on the theme 鈥淎sian Youth Wake up - The Glory of Martyrs shines on you鈥.

His message to the young people of Asia was: 鈥淵ou are the heirs of a great testimony, a precious witness to Christ. He is the light of the world; he is the light of our lives! The martyrs of Korea 鈥 and innumerable others throughout Asia 鈥 handed over their bodies to their persecutors; to us they have handed on a perennial witness that the light of Christ鈥檚 truth dispels all darkness, and the love of Christ is gloriously triumphant. With the certainty of his victory over death, and our participation in it, we can face the challenge of Christian discipleship today, in our own circumstances and time鈥.
