00:19The works of Paul DeLille in Argentina
00:23in this gathering with young people.
00:26Gracias.
00:39This is Paul DeLille at the Monument to the Monument of the Spaniards in the Palermo neighborhood.
00:48This is part of his pastoral visit to the country.
00:53He went early in Cordova, in which he visited Cordova this November 10,
01:04and then he presided a holy mass at the Crowns of the Military Aviation School.
01:11This celebration was open to the public, and the administration was also free.
01:19Now that we hear the words of Paul DeLille.
01:25Knowing that, in reality, everything depends on God.
01:31Do all that you can.
01:33Put your whole heart into it and join your efforts to those of others.
01:41When you come to the end of your strength, remember that God's strength never runs out.
01:48Jesus spoke to us of a seed that grows while the sower sleeps.
01:54We will not always see the fruits of what we sow, but we can trust that God continues to look
02:01after them.
02:01So, keep St. Nazaria's words close to your heart.
02:08Onward, always onward.
02:11The Lord walks with you.
02:16And that's how, then, the Holy Father responds to the question of Agustina Flores.
02:22Holy Father, how can we cope with frustration and our own limitations
02:26when we reach out to those who are most excluded, yet are unable to accompany them as we would wish?
02:34How can we continue walking by their side when we feel that what we do is not?
02:41This is Pope Leo with the testimonies.
02:44The person that said the words, their testimonies in front of Pope Leo XIV.
02:50He responded to these two young people that were very brave to say their testimonies
02:59and talk in front of all these people, seeing their life experience.
03:04This is a huge crowd of people that went to the monument of the Spaniard, the Palermo neighborhood to visit,
03:14to see the Holy Father.
03:17The music is being played to honor him in this neighborhood of Palermo.
03:24We see people that are saluting the camera, saying that they are present to the Pope Leo XIV in this
03:35event,
03:36and this gathering that is being held in the monument of the Spaniard in the Palermo neighborhood.
03:44We can listen a little bit of the music.
04:00So we can see here the people, the music that is being played to the Holy Father that is visiting
04:10the neighborhood of Palermo.
04:13We saw Pope Leo XIV gathered with two young that gave their testimony of life.
04:22This is the second testimony.
04:28There are more testimony of Guadalupe.
04:34We can hear her testimony to the Holy Father.
04:39Let's listen to Guadalupe.
04:43I was born in Corrientes into a Catholic family, and from my childhood God made his presence felt through catechesis,
04:55my aunts telling stories of saints, the living nativity scene at the parish, praying the rosary with the neighbors, Sunday
05:04Mass and missionary work.
05:08My parents had taught me that the gifts each of us has are not meant to be kept for ourselves,
05:15but given to others.
05:17So as I grew up, I became involved in parish activities, helping with missions and catechesis.
05:26My whole life was permeated by God, but something else was stirring within me.
05:37From childhood I felt in my heart the invitation to consecrate my life to Him, but other people's words began
05:45to weigh on me.
05:48Many people close to me thought I should become a nun and kept telling me so.
05:55Yet the idea of others deciding for me drew me further and further away from religious life.
06:02I wanted to make my own decisions without feeling influenced by others.
06:11That is why I have always identified with the rich young man in the gospel.
06:16As he had done with him, Jesus invited me to follow him.
06:20But instead of leaving everything and following in his footsteps, I chose the possession I had and did not want
06:30to give up.
06:30God had always been very generous, but when He called me, I went away sad.
06:41At the age of 23, I had decided to study in Buenos Aires and began receiving spiritual direction from a
06:48priest.
06:51Many times when I spoke with Him, I thought about the possibility of consecrating my life to God, but I
06:59said nothing.
07:02It said in me to think that it was already too late for me.
07:06One day during one of our meetings, I managed to tell Him what I felt in my heart.
07:14He answered with a simple question that changed my life forever.
07:19Who told you it is already too late?
07:23When I heard that question, I felt hope returning to me.
07:28I rediscovered a God who looked upon me and had never stopped calling me.
07:35I felt that now that I was older, I had more freedom than I had as a teenager.
07:42And from that freedom, I began discerning my vocation and decided to dedicate my life to God in response to
07:51this call to religious life.
07:53Today, I rejoice in that decision and live happily, following Jesus closely.
07:59I always thought mine was the story of someone who had arrived too late.
08:04Today, I am beginning to discover that it is the story of a God who knows how to wait.
08:11Thank you, Holy Father, for listening to me.
08:17This is other testimony to the Holy Father.
08:20And we see that there are a lot of people gathered and other testimonies from Franco at Argentinians, the young
08:31people.
08:32So let's listen.
08:34My parents prayed tirelessly to Saint Raymond Nanotus, so that I could come into this world.
08:43Here I am, one of the countless miracles of this saint who watches over new life.
08:48At the age of 15 while doing missionary work, and it changed my life completely.
09:00Today, I work in sports journalism and teach catechesis and literature.
09:04I also have a girlfriend and enjoy spending time with my many friends.
09:09I continue helping at the parish and take part in a wonderful volunteer program, sharing my time at a home
09:16for people with disabilities, or as they say, different abilities.
09:22Yet, sometimes I feel a tension.
09:24Jesus changed my life just as he changed Guadalupes, Guadalupes, and I too want to follow him holding nothing back.
09:33But sometimes I feel that my life of faith and Jesus are on one side, and my working and everyday
09:40life are on the other.
09:42Holy Father, how can I bring these two realities together?
09:45The love I experience in the parish and at the home, alongside my responsibilities at home, at work, and the
09:55other demands of daily life.
09:59And the Holy Father responds.
10:05Having listened to you, I know that there are many young people who have the same concern and worry of
10:12giving their life to Jesus.
10:15Jesus continues to call.
10:17He calls you, and don't be afraid to respond to his call.
10:23Franco, thank you for your question.
10:28Think of the years Jesus spent in Nazareth, working with hands and sharing in family life.
10:35The Son of God chose to live in this way.
10:40He taught us that we can encounter him even in the ordinary things of life.
10:47That is why we do not have to live two separate lives, one for God and another for our daily
10:53occupations.
10:56There should be no conflict within these two.
11:00When you work, study, or spend time with your friends, do so with love and offer it to the Lord.
11:08In this way, your work too becomes prayer and a path to holiness.
11:14So, Franco, bring your whole life to the altar each time you take part in the Eucharist.
11:22Then return to your daily occupations with joy, knowing that Jesus is waiting for you there too.
11:31Thank you very much.
11:37These are the words of Pablo XIV that is visiting Argentina.
11:42This visit is marked with a significant event in the country's history.
11:49It was the first time in 39 years that a Pope has suffered in Argentina in Seoul.
11:56This visit began on November 8, 2026, with a flight from Montevideo to Buenos Aires,
12:03where he was received by the President of the country and other officials.
12:06This papal journey includes the visits of Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Lujan,
12:13with this schedule that included public masses, officials, receptions,
12:18and meeting with various sectors of the society.
12:22This visit is part of a large apostolic journey through Latin America,
12:27which also included the first stop that was your ride and will end up in Peru.
12:33The events, he's been filled with protocols, symbols, and gestures that set a tone for a journey
12:41that is both historic and speeded by the Argentine public.
12:46We can see that here is a choir singing for the people that went to see the Pope Leo XIV
12:54and also to the Pope Leo itself.
12:57There are many young people.
12:59This is a gathering with the young people of Argentina in the monument of Spain
13:05in the Palermo neighborhood.
13:08This is a visit that came after he returned from Córdoba.
13:15And we see there's been a lot of people that gathered in Palermo to see the Holy Father Pope Leo
13:25XIV.
13:28Let's remember his journey in Córdoba that took place this Tuesday, November 10,
13:35where he preceded a holy mass at the grounds of the Militar Aviation School
13:41and the celebration was open to the public.
13:45The event was expected to draw a large crown and it did,
13:50including worshipers from the city of Córdoba,
13:53towns across the province and Argentines from all provinces,
13:57as well as visitors from other countries in the region.
14:00The mass began at 10 a.m. on Tuesday at the Militar Aviation School
14:05located within the ground of the Argentine aircraft factory in Córdoba.
14:12Followed by this mass scheduled at 10 a.m.,
14:17Paul Leo returned to the intersection of Colón Avenue and Santa Fe Street,
14:38where the Archbibes Palace is located.
14:47We see here that there are young people talking and expressing his thought to the public
14:54and also to the Holy Father.
14:58This has been an historic visit from this Pope Leo to the country.
15:06The key message of the Pope Leo in Argentina
15:10underscored the importance of upholding human dignity
15:13during his address of social movements and the world of work
15:17at the Catholic University of Buenos Aires in Argentina on Monday.
15:22In his remarks, the Holy Father reflected on the principles of the Church,
15:27social doctrine and for science that the first and most fundamental of this
15:32is the dignity of the human person.
15:35Also, the Pope highlighted the importance of promoting the common good,
15:39insisting that it requests to overcome sterile individualism
15:44and corporates his utilitarianism.
15:49The Holy Father also reflected on the principles of the universal destitution of goods.
15:58He also discussed the principles of solidarity,
16:01which makes solidarity a force capable of building a social structure
16:08that can redefine markets and needs on labor relations according to criteria of justice
16:13and the logic of reciprocity.
16:20The Holy Father also highlighted a principle of the social function of property and capital.
16:27Pope Leo pointed to the life of Venerable Enrique Shaw, a Catholic entrepreneur,
16:33who underwent a conversation after discovering the beauty of the Gospel
16:37as expressed in the Church social doctrine.
16:42We codo him.
16:44The future blessed with his Christian understanding of the human person understood
16:50that industry was not just a productive mechanism or a mean of accumulating capital,
16:58but a true community of people called to grow together, he said.
17:05Also, he talked about that the technology must be subject of ethics,
17:10because Pope called for building a united Argentina,
17:14drowning in an authentic social friendship that overcomes dialectical polarization,
17:19and shapes and architecture of peace founded on justice and dialogue.
17:26He emphasized that the challenges possessed by the artificial intelligence
17:31and irregular automation can put countless jobs at risk
17:38and become a real threat to prompt the integral human development.
17:43He also stressed that technology must always be subject of ethics, as we were saying,
17:48adding that an algorithm cannot replace human discernment
17:53or the in-strength value of a worker's physical presence and effort.
17:59The Holy Father also reminded those present that God calls each person
18:06to be attentive to the needs of others, serving them through their works.
18:11He invited everyone not to shy away from our daily encounter with Christ,
18:17the task of each day, however vital and significant they may seem to us.
18:25According to his urge them to defend the human dignity,
18:30He called for the church to take part in this.
18:37We see that this is a dance to the Pope Leo XIV's visit.
18:49We see here this artistic presentation.
19:15The visit of Argentina is being interpreted as a recognition of his predecessor,
19:21Paul Francis, and his legacy, which he considers himself committed to continuing.
19:28Leo XIV arrived in Argentina this Sunday after completing his first leg on his South American tour
19:37in the Uribe, the social focus of his journey,
19:40and a large popular turnout witness at his previous stops placed the government's administrations
19:49before a visit of the church with significant political implications.
20:04We can see this interpretation to the Holy Father,
20:09which is gathered with young people in the monument of the Spaniard at the Palermo neighborhood.
20:21We can see this interpretation, the difference, the people there with music,
20:31with the narration of a monologue in which talks about different things.
20:48This is a performance to the Pope Leo, with a public theme, with a public tone.
20:59We can hear the music and see this huge gathering of people in the neighborhood of Palermo,
21:10that went to the monument of the Spaniard to see the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV.
21:19We can see this presentation and listen to the music.

22:15I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to offer my heart, it won't be so easy, I know what happens,
22:29it won't be so simple as I thought,
22:34I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river,
22:40I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river, I'm coming to the river,

23:03I'm going to offer my heart, and I'll join the ends of a same thread, and I'll go quiet,
23:15I'll go slowly, and I'll give you everything, and you'll give me something that will help me a little more.
23:36This is an interpretation to the Pope Leo XIV for part of the young people that gathered in this monument
23:47to the Spaniards.
23:49These have been different interpretations. We saw first a monologue, and now this musical interpretation.
23:58We have more news of Pope Leo's visit to Argentina, specifically at the Monument of Spaniards at the Palermo neighborhood,
24:06here in Telesur English, and also in our news briefs from the South. Stay tuned.
24:13We'll see you next time.
