From 28 Dec. 2012 to 2 Jan. 2013, the city of Rome hosted Taizé’s 35th European meeting of young people. Forty thousand young adults from across the European continent and beyond gathered in the Italian capital for six days of prayer, reflection and a sharing of life with parishes, families and religious communities in and around Rome.
Common prayers were held in the major churches of the city, in particular the Basilicas of St. John Lateran, St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls. On Saturday, Dec. 29, the whole group gathered in St. Peter’s Square for a time of prayer with Pope Benedict XVI.
The Daughters of St. Paul participated in this event by means of a spiritual proposal to the young people, offering them a 3-part reflection on the Faith entitled Belief: Opening the Doors to God’s “Impossibilities.” A catechesis on this subject can be found on the link: http://cantalavita.com/.
