It is less than 3 months until World Youth Day, and Pope Francis says he hopes participants use the event as a chance to become more hopeful. In a video message released on Thursday, the Holy Father said there will always be concerns about traveling, but adds the event will be worth it; and young people will emerge feeling energized. He added that one good way to prepare is to spend time with grandparents. World Youth Day is in early August. EWTN News Vatican Correspondent, Colm Flynn, joins to tell us what he has been hearing from the people of Lisbon all week. Flynn shares how the city is preparing for the massive event. He discusses what the young Catholics he has been meeting have been saying.
