Papst an Westafrikas Jugend: Tiefste Fragen finden keine Antwort im Scrollen

In brief

Pope Leo XIV sent a video message to young people attending the first West Africa Youth Days in Accra, Ghana. The message, delivered in both English and French, encouraged participants to find answers to life's deepest questions rather than seeking them through scrolling on digital devices.

The event runs from September 7 to September 11 and brings together young people from 16 West African countries. The gathering opened on Monday under the theme of courage based on words from the Gospel of John.
