VATICAN CITY, SEP 6, 2003 (VIS) - Approximately 2,000 young people from different Italian dioceses, accompanied by leaders and members of Catholic Action, participated yesterday afternoon in a prayer vigil in the Vatican Basilica. As a sign of his spiritual closeness, the Pope arranged for a candle to be lit at 8 p.m. in the window of his private apartment in the Apostolic Palace.

The vigil, organized by the youth of Italian Catholic Action, followed a procession which started in the gardens of Castel Sant'Angelo and proceeded along Via della Conciliazione, ending in St. Peter's Basilica at 8:45 p.m.
