Update from Isabel Fernandes
Portugal
One and a half million people, youth from many different nations arrived to Lisbon in August to hear Pope Francis. I was surprised by the singularity of many things, eyes drawn to pretty words, words of social welfare, but words which were empty of the essence of Jesus Christ. The Pope came, attracted crowds and left. However, the thousands of young men and women remain hopeless, without God as they live in this world. They are still searching for the Door of Salvation.
