In Córdoba, Pope Leo XIV steps out onto the balcony of the bishop’s residence, calling on Argentinians to remain united:
Good morning, everyone. Good morning! Very good. Well, greetings to all of you on this festive day. Let us thank God for the gift of faith, for the gift of being able to come together like this. Just look at how many people have filled the streets!
Thank you for welcoming me. Thank you for this warm greeting. But above all, let us thank God for the gift of life, for this enthusiasm, and for the gift of young people. Where are the young people?
Let us give thanks for the gift of being united, all of us together, always convinced that we stand united. When we stand together, we can achieve anything. God is close to you and will always be with you. Keep living your faith. May God bless all of Córdoba. And may the blessing of Almighty God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, come down upon all of you. Thank you very much. Long live Christ!
