Hundreds of thousands of young faithful honored him Pope Leo San as a rock star last Saturday (02.07.2025) during the outdoor alert on the outskirts of Rome – even the head of the Catholic Church arrived by helicopter.
The Catholics burst into tears and began to cheer when the white military helicopter landed in the vast space in the eastern suburbs of Rome.
The organizers said more than 800,000 young pilgrims from 146 countries from all over the world gathered in the alert of the youth jubilee – quite a bit of a million believers.
“Always aim for great things, aim for holiness, wherever you are,” the Pope said in his message to young people.
In today’s meeting with the faithful, in addition to the Pope, 20 cardinals, 450 bishop and 7000 Catholic priests participated. “Our vulnerable aspects are part of our amazing existence and entity,” Pontiff added, calling on young people not to look for a non -existent, as well as false perfection.

Today’s function has been the largest mass attendance of believers that the Italian capital has hosted over the last 25 years and was organized in the context of the Holy year of the Catholics.
Referring to the message of his predecessor, the blessed Pope Francis, the American Pontiff, addressing the young people who flocked to Rome, stressed that “we are all called upon to confront us with great questions, which do not foresee our immediate and simplistic answer, but to help us. With a take -off, without which we could never fly. “
