While in Cologne participating in World Youth Day, Cardinal Jaime Ortega y Alamino of Havana, Cuba, said the event is a chance for young people to encounter themselves and not just live the emotion of the moment.
In an interview with Catholic News Agency, the cardinal said, “There is no other world event like this one, and we have seen in each World Youth Day that catechesis is taken very seriously and that the people participate despite being tired.”
