00:00On Tuesday evening here in St. Peter's Square, Archbishop Fisichella led the inauguration mass for the Jubilee of Youth.
00:14He welcomed the hundreds of thousands of young pilgrims who flocked to the capital on the occasion.
00:21Some of them arrived here from conflict zones and thanked them for making the effort.
00:27This is the largest event of the Vatican's ongoing Jubilee year.
00:34For the first time in its history, the Catholic Church has celebrated a two-day event entirely dedicated to digital missionaries and Catholic influencers.
00:46It's a way to show how much the digital environment has become a true mission field.
00:53As the Vatican's Secretary of State, Parolin, put it, quote, the digital world needs hope.
01:02And 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.
01:17And in a world torn by conflicts, the Pope highlighted the importance of spreading a message of peace.
01:26The 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.
