SOUNDBITE 1 - Gabriel Forestier, engineer (male, 28 years old, French, 28 sec): "It's really impressive, we're coming up to the French day -- 40,000 French people arriving from all over France. And then there's the WYD (World Youth Day), which we arrived for last night, so I haven't had a chance yet, but after the opening ceremony tonight it's going to be extraordinary, with all these young Christians coming together. I've also come to spend this time, to show that we Christians are not alone, young Christians -- the future is still ahead of us." "C'est quand même impressionnant, on arrive à la journée des français -- 40.000 personnes françaises qui arrivent des quatre coins de la France. Et après sur les JMJ (Journées mondiales de la jeunesse), nous nous sommes arrivés hier soir donc j'ai pas encore eu l'occasion mais après la cérémonie d'ouverture qui va avoir lieu ce soir ça va être extraordinaire avec toute cette jeunesse chrétienne qui se rassemble. Je suis venu aussi pour passer ce moment-là, pour montrer aussi que nous chrétiens, nous ne sommes pas seuls, les jeunes chrétiens -- l'avenir est encore devant nous." 28. SOUNDBITE 2 - Florent de Lantivy, electrician (male, 22 years old, French, 13 sec): "It's been great, even better than I'd hoped. We're having a great time, we're talking a lot, we're getting on well, we're discovering, we're visiting, so yeah, it's great." "C'est super, même mieux que ce que j'espérais. On s'éclate, on parle beaucoup, on s'entend bien, on découvre, on visite, donc ouais c'est super." 29. SOUNDBITE 3 - Joseph Berger, seminarian (studying to enter the clergy) (male, 21 years old, French, 22 sec): "Today we're with the whole French group, but from this evening we'll be with the whole world, in Lisbon with all the young people from all over the world - it was very important for us. We're both seminarians and we're proud to be able to commit ourselves to the Church and in particular to the diocese of Corsica, which is a beautiful diocese and in great need of priests too." "Aujourd'hui on est avec tout le groupe des français mais à partir de ce soir on sera avec le monde entier, à Lisbonne réunis avec tous les jeunes du monde entier - pour nous c'était très important. Nous sommes séminaristes tous les deux et nous sommes fiers de pouvoir nous engager pour l'église et en particulier pour le diocèse de Corse qui est un très beau diocèse et qui a bien besoin de prêtres aussi." 30. SOUNDBITE 4 - Claire de Talhouet, actor (female, 26 years old, French, 13 sec): "I'm really happy to be here, I came on my own. I'm going to try to meet new people and above all reconnect with God, so there you go. To rediscover my faith in a way." "Je suis hyper heureuse d'être là, moi je suis venu toute seule. Je vais essayer de faire de nouvelles rencontres et surtout me reconnecter à Dieu, donc voilà. De retrouver la foi en quelque sorte." ALGÉS, PORTUGAL AUGUST 1, 2023 SOURCE: AFPTV 31. SOUNDBITE 5 - Harold Tagny, student (male, 19 years old, French, 34 sec): "I came to find many things I had lost, through his word, through his gifts, through his soul, through the heavens. I have come to seek... How can I put it? A lot of love from Jesus, a lot of love and faith. Faith is important. And seeing lots of young people who share the same faith as me, who share the same desire, the same joy of going to Christ every day, that's what's good, that's what's important." "Je suis venu retrouver beaucoup de choses que j'avais perdu, à travers sa parole, à travers ses dons, à travers son âme, à travers les cieux. Je suis venu chercher... Comment dire ça ? Beaucoup d'amour de Jésus, beaucoup d'amour et la foi. La foi c'est important. Et voir beaucoup de jeunes qui partagent la même foi que moi, qui partagent la même envie, la même joie d'aller vers le Christ tous les jours, c'est ça qui est bien, c'est ça qui est important." /// ----------------------------------------------------------- AFP TEXT STORY: newseries 'Spiritual battery': Pilgrims gather in Lisbon for Catholic festival By Levi Fernandes and Thomas Cabral =(Picture+Video+Graphic)= ATTENTION - UPDATES with fresh quotes, colour /// Lisbon, Aug 1, 2023 (AFP) - Crowds of flag-waving pilgrims converged on Lisbon on Tuesday for the start of a week-long religious festival known as World Youth Day, a day before the arrival of Pope Francis. Around 300,000 people from around the world are expected to attend the opening mass at 7:00 pm (1800 GMT) at the hillside Eduardo VII park, which offers sweeping views of the Portuguese capital and the Tagus river. Pilgrims roamed around Lisbon in a festive mood ahead of the mass, waving national flags in the air, dancing and singing Catholic anthems from their home countries. "My goal is to recharge my spiritual battery because sometimes, as young people, we let it run low," Xochilt Cecilia Velis, a 24-year-old from El Salvador, told AFP in central Lisbon. Francis is set to arrive in Lisbon on Wednesday morning to celebrate World Youth Day, which is actually a week of religious, cultural and festive events held about every three years in a different city. The 86-year-old pontiff is by Church standards the most liberal pope in decades and is very popular with young people. During his papacy, he has tried to create a more compassionate church, reaching out to the gay community and talking frankly to youngsters about abortion, divorce and gender identity. Fernanda Euceda, a 21-year-old pilgrim from Honduras, said she felt "deep affection" for Francis "because the messages he sends out has so much love for young people." "I think this is above all what fills your heart with hope," she told AFP. - 'Coming together' - In Portugal, he has a typically packed schedule for his five-day visit, despite having spent nine nights in hospital after undergoing hernia surgery in June. Francis, the first Latin American pope, is due to make 11 public pronouncements and hold numerous meetings, and on Saturday will visit the shrine of Fatima north of Lisbon. Church organisers expect one million faithful will attend the event's closing mass held by the pope on Sunday at a waterside park on the outskirts of Lisbon. Images of the pope were on display on banners across the city as well as on screens on automatic bank machines along with the message: "I am with you". A Lisbon pastry shop is even selling cookies with the image of the smiling pontiff wearing a crucifix. "It's going to be extraordinary, all this Christian youth coming together," said Gabriel Forestier, a 28-year-old engineer from Amiens in northern France. World Youth Day, which has been dubbed the "Catholic Woodstock", is part of the Vatican's efforts to galvanise young Catholics at a time when secularism and disgust over clerical child sex abuse cause some faithful to abandon the Church. - Meeting with abuse victims - Pope Francis is expected during his visit to meet privately with victims of sexual abuse by members of the Portuguese clergy. A report released in February by an independent commission -- similar to audits elsewhere in Europe and the Americas -- determined that at least 4,815 children had been abused by clergy members in Portugal since 1950. The inquiry -- similar to audits elsewhere in Europe and the Americas -- concluded that the Church hierarchy in Portugal "systematically" tried to conceal the abuse. Around 16,000 members of law enforcement, civil protection and medical staff are being deployed for the pope's visit, officials said. Roads and metro stations will be closed -- presenting a challenge for the city of 550,000 inhabitants already busy with summer tourists. Initially scheduled for August 2022, but postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Lisbon World Youth Day is the 16th international edition of what has become the largest gathering of Catholics worldwide. The brainchild of late Pope John Paul II that started in 1986, this year's event is the fourth presided over by Pope Francis, who became head of the Catholic Church in 2013. The last three events took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2013, Krakow, Poland in 2016 and Panama City, Panama in 2019. lf-tsc/ds/rox -------------------------------------------------------------
