After the praying of Vespers at the Cathedral of Buenos Aires, Pope Leo XIV stepped out onto the Cathedral balcony and greeted the crowd gathered in the square.
Hello, good evening!
So much enthusiasm! So much joy! It is because we all know Christ. A round of applause for Jesus!
Thank you, Buenos Aires. Thank you for welcoming me. Thank you, Argentina.
May the blessing of the Lord reach the heart of each one of you and all your loved ones. May we always live with the joy of knowing that Christ is calling us. All are welcome, and all are sent joyfully to proclaim the Good News.
And may the blessing of almighty God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, come down upon you. Amen.
Long live Christ!
