This month, Pope Francis shares his personal story: “When I was 17… I wasn’t thinking at all of being a priest. But one day, I went into the church…and God was there, waiting for me!”

“God still calls young people even today, sometimes in ways we can’t imagine,” he says in The Pope Video for February, produced by his Worldwide Prayer Network in collaboration with Vatican Media and The Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

Pope Francis invites us to trust in young people and the Holy Spirit at work in their lives. Let us create spaces in our communities to support their dreams, doubts, and discernment journeys.
