00:20We go live now to Peru once again to the Pope, Pope Leo Foutin, that is addressing the people
00:27present in Cajamarca. We'll listen to his statements at this hour.
00:35At that time I did not know all that lay ahead of me or how much I would receive from
00:40you.
00:41Thank you for welcoming me with the joy and hospitality that are so characteristic of you.
01:02Papa Leo! Papa Leo! Papa Leo! Papa Leo!
01:12And thank you for your many gestures of affection.
01:35Thank you for making me feel once again that I am at home. I am home.
02:05And I am grateful to Bishop Farfan for his warm words of welcome.
02:11and to those who shared their testimonies with us.
02:15I listen to them with emotion and gratitude,
02:19recognizing in your words the faith of this people
02:23whom I always carry in my heart.
02:33Today, we bring to a close the Jubilee year
02:36marking the third centenary of the canonization
02:39of St. Turibius of Mongrovejo,
02:42and we do so here at the shrine dedicated to him.
02:47Zania offers us a summary of his life,
02:51for it was here that he surrendered his spirit to the Father
02:55while carrying out the pastoral visitation entrusted to him
03:01as bishop of this region.
03:03His life reminds us that a shepherd's love is measured
03:06also by the physical and existential distances
03:11he is willing to travel
03:14in order to proclaim Jesus Christ.
03:25Here in Zania,
03:28there is an empty tomb
03:30where I recently stopped to pray.
03:35The remains of St. Turibius rested there
03:38for a time before being transferred to Lima.
03:41As I contemplate it,
03:43I think of what remains of his passage through this land,
03:47the faith of so many communities,
03:50and the dedication of those who've followed in his footsteps,
03:54bringing the gospel to the most remote places.
03:57During my years in Chiclayo,
04:00I had the grace of encountering many of them.
04:04I especially remember my visits to Incahuasi and Cañades,
04:12the warm welcome extended by their families,
04:17and the dedication of the priests
04:18and religious sisters
04:23who accompany these communities.
04:31They often arrive to proclaim the gospel on return,
04:35having understood it a little better,
04:37thanks to your faith.
04:45Zania also preserves the memory
04:48of generations of Africans
04:49who were torn from their homes
04:53and subjected to slavery.
04:57Many endured great suffering and humiliation.
05:01Dear brothers and sisters of African descent,
05:06today I want to express my affection
05:08and closeness to you.
05:11I've had the joy of coming to know your faith,
05:15your traditions,
05:17and the love with which you preserve
05:18the memory of your ancestors.
05:20Thank you for all that you contribute
05:22to the life of this Church.
05:24May the example of St. Martin de Pores,
05:27on whom St. Thuriovis himself
05:30conferred the Sacrament of Confirmation,
05:32remind you how deeply God loves you
05:36and encourage you to persevere
05:38on the path to holiness.
05:45Dear brothers and sisters,
05:48the life of St. Thuribius
05:51also invites us to look at the needs
05:54of our own time.
05:56I know that many families
05:58in this region suffer
06:00because of crime,
06:02extortion, and insecurity.
06:06I'm pained at the thought
06:08of those who live in fear.
06:10of people whose honest labor
06:12is under threat,
06:14and of those who continue
06:16to experience discrimination.
06:19I hold you in my prayers
06:20and ask the Lord to grant you
06:24the peace you so deeply need.
06:27I urge you to remain united,
06:29to care for one another,
06:31and never to grow accustomed to the suffering of others.
06:36There's always someone we can help,
06:41someone we can listen to,
06:44a family we can accompany.
06:49In the letter I recently addressed
06:51to the bishops of Latin America and the Caribbean,
06:54I recall that St. Thuribius
06:56was a shepherd
06:58who had first allowed the gospel
07:01to shape his very existence.
07:04how wonderful it would be
07:07if the same could be said
07:10of each one of us.
07:11Dear priests,
07:14nourish your friendship
07:15with Jesus Christ each day.
07:18Celebrate the sacraments
07:20with love and reverence,
07:22and always remain close
07:24to the people entrusted to your care.
07:27Dear parents and grandparents,
07:31continue to pass on the faith
07:33to your children and grandchildren.
07:35And you, young people,
07:37open your hearts to the Lord
07:39who knows you
07:40and has a beautiful vocation
07:43for each of you.
07:45Let us allow His Word
07:47to transform our lives
07:50and teach us
07:51to love as He loves us.
08:03Before I conclude,
08:07I would like to return
08:08to that night of prayer with you
08:10with which I began this reflection.
08:14Many years have passed
08:15and I carry so many of your faces
08:19in my memory.
08:20I remember with special affection
08:23those who've already gone
08:25to the Father's house
08:26and whom I hope to meet again one day.
08:31All of you remain firmly
08:33in my prayers.
08:48That night I asked the Lord
08:51to teach me
08:53how to be a shepherd.
08:56Looking back on the years
08:57that have passed,
08:59I now understand
09:00that you have been part
09:01of God's answer
09:03of God's answer
09:03to that prayer.
09:04For this,
09:06I want to thank you
09:08from the bottom of my heart.
09:11Thank you for your faith,
09:13your affection,
09:15and all that you taught me
09:16during those years.
09:22Now that the Lord
09:24has entrusted me
09:25with the care
09:25of the Universal Church,
09:28I ask Him once again
09:29for the same grace,
09:31conscious of how much
09:33I still have to learn.
09:36I ask you to continue
09:37praying for me
09:39as I know
09:40you have been doing.
09:52May the Most Holy Virgin Mary
09:54and St. Toribius of Mongrovejo
09:57intercede for you
09:59so that you may continue
10:01faithfully
10:01along the paths
10:03of the Gospel.
10:06May God bless you.
