During the General Audience, over which Pope Francis presided on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, he encouraged Polish young people to bless their parents, as a gesture of love and gratitude.
On greeting the Poles from the Library of the Apostolic Palace, the Holy Father turned to the young people, who will be spiritually united to the Vigil of Prayer of the 24th “LEDNICA 2000” Meeting.
In fact, every year since 1997, on the first Saturday of June, tens of thousands of young people gather on the shores of lake Lednica, where the first King of Poland, Meszkio I, was baptized in 966. However, the current measures to fight the COVID-10 pandemic do not allow them to gather physically this year.
