Young Havanians in symposium with the Pope

More than 500 young Havanians took part in a Havana broadcast from
the Vatican's Television Center that linked, by satellite, Catholic
university students from five European cities and from five in the
Western Hemisphere in an emotional encounter of prayer and reflection
with Pope Benedict XVI.

Students from 5 European cities -- Avignon (France), Bucharest
(Romania), Minsk (Byelorussia), Naples (Italy), and Toledo (Spain) --
were spiritually linked, thanks to satellite television, with those
from 5 Western Hemispheric cities: Aparecida (Brazil), Mexico City,
Havana, Loja (Ecuador), Washington D.C., and with the Roman group
gathered with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican.

On two large screens at the Havana Cathedral, the Cuban students were
able to follow the broadcast from the Vatican's Television Center
while witnessing the happenings in the other participating cities,
while the cameras from a remote control unit of Cuban State TV
broadcast, by the same link, parallel actions in Havana.

The symposium ended with the symbolic giving to the participants of
the Spes Salvi. The delivery was made at the Vatican by the Pope,
while in each of the cities it was made by the local bishop. In
closing, Benedict XVI gave to all his apostolic blessing.

Once the broadcast had ended, an audiovisual presentation was
screened at the Havana Cathedral on the coming celebration of Young
Easter 2008. Finally, Cardinal Jaime Ortega, Archbishop of Havana,
thanked those present for their enthusiastic response to the Youth
Pastoral's summoning, acknowledged the organizers' good work and the
valuable collaboration by the Cuban TV remote control unit. Lastly,
he wished everyone a good ending of Lent and a happy Easter
celebration.
