Paraguayans need to renew their faith and know Jesus better

(Vatican Radio) Marisa is one of the main organisers of the overnight vigil taking place before Pope Francis celebrates Mass on Sunday morning (July 12th) in Asuncion’s Nu Guazu Park. She spoke to our correspondent in Asuncion, Linda Bordoni, about the preparations for this vigil and what it will entail and the great enthusiasm among the people for this papal visit to Paraguay.

Asked what she feels is the greatest challenge facing Paraguay, Marisa said the country and its people need “a conversion” and to “renew our faith.”  “The biggest need in Paraguay is to know Jesus”, she said, and through him find “the meaning of life.”  Marisa said such a conversion will prompt people to behave better, to forgive others and try to be honest.
