Today, June 2, the script for the third Rise Up Preparatory Encounter was released, with the theme "Great Announcement of God's Love", following the example of Mary.

During this Encounter, the groups will be able to reflect on the great announcement of God's love, through the example of Mary, who got up and left in haste. The aim is to get young people to set out in haste on the way to World Youth Day (WYD) Lisbon 2023.

For the third Rise UP Preparatory Encounter, it is also intended that the young people reflect on Pope Francis' Message for WYD Lisbon 2023. At the end of the third Rise UP Preparatory Encounter, and after reflecting individually and in groups on this theme, fill out the form with what you have identified as a priority to discuss in Church.
