Thousands of young people began the 49th Youth Pilgrimage to Luján, which began this Saturday at 10 from the sanctuary of San Cayetano, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Liniers, until arriving on Sunday at the Basilica of Luján, in the province of Buenos Aires , in a walk of more than 60 kilometers that will have a special support operation. In dialogue with Télam, the archbishop of Buenos Aires and primate of Argentina, Jorge Ignacio García Cuerva, said: "I think we are having a nice day, so the number of people who are going to walk will surely be many, maybe it won't be decided until the last moment. And well, we live with this deep longing to ask Mary to give us strength to unite, as the motto says. Of course, in a, let's say, difficult year." "In a very complicated year, I think we are living through difficult times. The other day I heard what the poverty rate is, which is not just a figure, but for those of us who walk the streets, as we say, they are concrete faces of brothers that they are having a very bad time," he added. Finally, García Cuerva said: "I believe that, let's see, a pilgrimage is a reflection of what life is. Life is also a path. And on the path of life there are moments when one is with others, in the "At every moment of life there are moments when one is alone, on the path of life there are moments when one is angry or happy. So, in some way, on this path of life, which is the pilgrimage to Luján."
