In the silence of the night, everyone gathered in prayer, reflection, and reconciliation — opening their hearts to God through the Taizé Prayer, moments of reflection, and Confession.✝️

With candles glowing softly in the dim red lights, each young person was invited to pause, listen, and encounter the Lord in the deepest corners of their hearts. Through written reflections, delegates courageously poured out their thoughts, struggles, fears, and silent burdens— releasing what weighed heavily within them into words surrendered before God.🕊️

As the night continued, vulnerability filled the atmosphere.
Tears flowed, hearts were moved, and many experienced the beauty of surrendering themselves completely to Him. 🥹

It was more than just a night of reflection — it became a sacred encounter with God’s love and mercy, reminding everyone that even in fragile times or brokenness, Christ remains present and faithful. 💙
