Amid youth protests against India’s government, the Youth Commission of the Conference of Catholic Bishops of India declared this coming Sunday to be a Day of Prayer and Solidarity with the Youth of Our Nation.
Catholic Connect, a website of the bishops’ conference, reported that the commission described the day of prayer as “neither political nor partisan,” but rather as “the compassionate and prayerful response of a Church that loves her young people, shares their hopes and anxieties, and walks with them in their journey.”
