Pope Speaks to Young Adults on Sailboat about Peace
Pope Leo XIV traveled to the "Bel Espoir" sailboat to speak to a crew of young adults from various Mediterranean countries and religions.
The sailboat, whose name means "beautiful hope", had visited 30 ports in the preceding eight months, with rotating crews of 25 young adults discussing faith and peace challenges.
The world needs "signs, witness, impressions that give hope"
Pope Leo XIV emphasized that living and working together on the boat has taught the young adults the importance of dialogue, and their efforts are a "sign of hope for the Mediterranean and the world".
The pope met the crew at the marina in Ostia, outside of Rome, after traveling 23 miles by car.
