In Italy, thousands of young people gathered in Assisi for the GO! Franciscan Youth Meeting. Pope Leo XIV made a special visit to the event, answering questions from young Catholics, including how to stay close to Christ, how to say "yes" and weather the hardships of discipleship, and how to trust in the Church when she herself has been compromised by bad actors. After answering their questions, the Holy Father met with members of the Franciscan Order and celebrated mass. EWTN News' Brian Schumacher has more.
