ROME 25' | MANIFESTO - A REVOLUTION OF THE YOUNG SPIRIT
We are not tourists of the spiritual.
We are pilgrims of meaning.
We come with backpacks full of doubts, wounds, songs, and hope.
And with one certainty in our hearts:
Christ is alive. And He is calling us.
In a continent that seems to have forgotten its soul,
we choose to remember.
To remember that we were created for freedom,
that there is beauty in following Jesus,
that the Gospel is not the past:
it is fire today, ignited by the Holy Spirit.
We rise as a generation:
not perfect, not uniform, not ideological.
But human, thirsty, seeking, believing.
We rise not to claim power,
but to serve, to love, to walk.
We want to give Europe back its roots.
Let the roads speak of God.
Let the sanctuaries be not just monuments,
but places of encounter and transformation.
We believe that the love of God heals.
That our wounds do not disqualify us — they make us real.
That no sin is stronger than mercy,
and no darkness can overcome the light of Christ.
We believe in a Church that is alive, young, unafraid,
able to listen, to make space,
and to trust young people without silencing their fire.
We choose to walk.
Because following Christ is not staying still.
It is leaving behind comfort, cynicism, and indifference.
It is to get moving.
From Rome we will go to Santiago,
from Santiago to Jerusalem,
and from there… to the world.
We choose to proclaim.
Not with empty words, but with authentic lives.
With music, networks, art, silence, presence.
With a faith that does not impose, but proposes.
With joy, depth, and meaning.
We choose to heal.
To be the face of a Church that does not judge but welcomes.
Where no one is left out. Where no one walks alone.
Where it is okay to cry, to laugh, to begin again.
We ask the Church to trust us.
To let us try, serve, grow.
To offer us real paths, living communities,
pastors who will walk with us.
We ask the youth of the world:
do not silence your thirst.
Do not settle for a life without truth.
Do not buy the lie of empty freedom.
Come. Walk. Say your “yes.”
From Rome we proclaim:
Jesus is Lord!
We are His generation!
We are His Church!
We are not an experiment.
We are not an appendix.
We are God's present for the world.
And we walk toward a future that does not end:
the eternal life promised by the Father,
won by the Son,
and sealed in us by the Spirit.
And that is why we proclaim this manifesto:
with our feet on the move,
with our lips in praise,
and with our hearts open to the Spirit.
We are witnesses!
We are pilgrims!
We are Church on the move!
Amen.
