Pope Francis Reminds Teenagers That Jesus Christ is Their Friend | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Pope Francis reminded young people to stay close to Jesus because "He is your friend!" At an audience of teenagers from around Europe last week, the Holy Father said Christ is our companion for our entire life. The teens were participating in Alpha Camp, a week-long initiative sponsored by the Catholic Church. Youth Director for Alpha Camp and a Baptist Minister, Reverend Dez Johnston, joins from Scotland to tell us about this audience with Pope Francis and what the reaction was from the campers to the Pope's message. Rev. Johnston shares more about Alpha Camp, what age groups attend, what sorts of activities they do and how faith is integrated into the camp. He explains what it was like meeting Pope Francis as a Baptists minister and how this camp can help people on their faith journey.
