What\u00a0<\/span>motivates so many young people to make a pilgrimage to Rome in the middle of summer? What are they seeking in sharing a week of prayer and witness at the heart of the Church?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The Jubilee of Youth 2025 revealed a generation far from apathetic or conformist, that recognizes its thirst for truth, friendship, and mission. The participation of <\/span>Regnum\u00a0<\/span>Christi, with delegations from 16 countries, showed the vitality of a living charism willing to set out on a journey, engage in dialogue with the world, and bear witness to a living faith. The voice of young people, the message of Pope Leo XIV, and their shared journey with Christ shaped a week that will remain engraved in the hearts of many<\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For the young people of Regnum Christi, this week was not only a spiritual experience, but also an authentic renewal of the call to evangelize in the charism they have received.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among them were\u00a0<\/span>more than\u00a0<\/span>1,500 young\u00a0<\/span>Regnum\u00a0<\/span>Christi members from 16 countries.<\/span><\/p>\n
