This was one of the most striking images from Pope Leo XIV\u2019s visit to Argentina: a crowd gathering to greet him and an avenue packed with the youth for the pope\u2019s vigil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this country, a nod to soccer was a must. This is how Pope Leo XIV appeared, to the beat of this music. And these young people, wearing the national team\u2019s jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even the pope was surprised by the reception...<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, first of all, good evening, and thank you. What a wonderful reception. A welcome that perhaps only Argentina can offer. Thank you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pope Leo XIV listened to several testimonies, including that of a young man that was addicted to drugs and that of a young woman exploring her vocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I know there are many young people who are eager to give their lives to Christ, whether in consecrated life, in the priesthood, or in family life. Christ continues to call, and do not be afraid to respond.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And there were more exciting moments like this one...<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his speech, Pope Leo XIV spoke about the idols that demand worship today: success at any cost, appearances, and the unbridled pursuit of pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong> The pope told the youth not to be afraid to approach the Church, that they can come with their questions and wounds because they will always be welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He also gave them the following advice: always keep your doors open to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POPE LEO XIV<\/strong> And so, fireworks provided the grand finale to Pope Leo XIV\u2019s vigil with the youth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This was one of the most striking images from Pope Leo XIV\u2019s visit to Argentina: a crowd gathering to greet him and an avenue packed with the youth for the pope\u2019s vigil.

Envy can prevent us from rejoicing in others\u2019 good fortune, and selfishness can lead us to treat people as objects. There are also those who make a business out of offering pleasures that ultimately enslave us, such as pornography and various substances.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Share your bread with those who are hungry; open your doors to the homeless; visit the sick and those whom no one else wants to visit. There are also sufferings that are not visible: a person who needs advice or correction, someone who is waiting for words of comfort, and another who needs to know they are loved.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
