Lisbon, 02 August, 2023 / 6:47 pm (ACI Africa).
A Togolese missionary Priest volunteering at the 2023 World Youth Day (WYD) in Lisbon, Portugal has challenged Africans attending the event to “be a light” to their peers when they go back home.
In a Monday, July 31 interview with EWTN, Fr. Pierre Paul Anani Dossekpli urged young people from different African countries attending the WYD events to be open to receive the Holy Spirit, and later, to share their transformation with those who were not fortunate enough to be at the events.
The Catholic Priest wished that participants at the WYD “encounter Christ because after all these is a faith event and I really wish them to be open to the Holy Spirit for them to encounter Christ in their individual situation and for them to connect with Christ and connect with others.”
“I will really wish that they really have this faith experience so that they can go back to their place and be the light to the other youth who were not able to come here,” Fr. Anani said.
Father Pierre Paul Dossekpli, a volunteer priest from Togo, is attending #WYD for the first time. He's inspired by dozens of young Africans from different countries participating. He encourages them all to find Christ and be a light for others back home. #Lisbon2023 #Lisboa2023 pic.twitter.com/08zIXiWI9X
