The video of the late Pope Francis to young people: “Learn to listen to others”

In mid -January, one month before his hospital stay, the late Pope Francis recorded a video message and reminded young people of the importance of listening while others speak.

From the Vatican News

A previously invisible video that was recorded on January 8 shows that the late Pope Francis Francis will take part in young people who take part in “listening workshops”.

The initiative was founded by Luca Drusian in Italy and brings together young people and adults to discuss various topics in order to be heard and listen to the beauty of the.

The video was published on Sunday, one day after the request of the late Pope, the Italian Weekly Magazine Oggi (“Today”).

In the video message recorded in the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis asked young people to always “listen to their grandparents – they teach us so much.”

“Dear boys and girls, one of the most important things in life is to listen – to learn how to listen,” said the late Pope. “When someone talks to you, wait until they are done so that they can really understand, and if they feel like it, they answer. But the most important thing is to listen.”

Pope Francis noticed that many people cannot really listen to other people because they already formulate their answer, as the other person speaks.

“Take a look at people – people don't listen,” he said. “You will answer halfway through an explanation, and that doesn't help peace. Listen too much.”

The deceased Pope's video message was published when hundreds of thousands of teenagers gathered in Rome to celebrate the anniversary of the teenagers.

Around 200,000 people came for the second day of the Novemials on St. Peter's square to visit the fair, or “nine days” of grief for Pope Francis.

Although the trade fair at the divine mercy on Sunday was in vote for Pope Francis, Cardinal Pietro Parolin invited young people to use the teaching of the late Pope about mercy so that they could discover the way to peace for their personal relationships and for the whole world.
