On the last night of the festival, the young people brought to the altar a hundred meters long canvas on which they inscribed their prayers.
The Holy Mass was attended by 714 priests and led by the President of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of New Evangelization, Archbishop Rino Fisichella, who urged the youth not to stop at the difficulties and anxieties of life but to share these difficulties with their contemporaries who care for them.
