Following his outdoor Mass in Cordoba on Tuesday morning, Pope Leo XIV took a moment to greet the thousands of people gathered outside the Archbishop’s Residence.

In off-the-cuff remarks from the balcony, the Pope thanked God for the gift of faith and the chance to share their faith “on this day of celebration.”

“Look how many people have come out into the streets,” he said. “Thank you for welcoming me, thank you for this greeting, but above all, let us thank God for the gift of life, for the gift of this enthusiasm—for the enthusiasm of young people!”

Pope Leo then urged Argentinians to thank God for the gift of being united, encouraging everyone to remain so.

“When we are united, we can accomplish anything,” he said. “God is close to you and will always be present.”

Before returning inside to have lunch, Pope Leo urged Argentinians to live their faith.
