Bishop Frank Caggiano shares how hopeful he is to be interacting with so many young adults in Rome at the Synod. One young man shared in his intervention his experience of persecution in Iraq. Even after many of his friends have been killed, he still believes and is willing to stand up for his faith. Caggiano is inspired by this faith and resilience and knows other people are too. One participant used the image of oaring a boat. The oars guide the boat in the desired direction, just as young people desire direction from the Church. From all of these interventions by young people, Caggiano is feeling hopeful for the future of the Church.
