The pontiff thanked the participants for their presence, courage and faith, Ukrinform reports with reference to Le Figaro.

“Dear friends, the first thing I would like to say is very simple: thank God and thank you - for your courage, your presence, your faith. You are the saints of France,” the Pope said.

The program of the meeting at the stadium includes performances by performers of modern Christian music, communication of young people with the Pope and the display of the "Holy Chiton of Christ" - a relic stored in Argenteuil near Paris.

Leo XIV arrived in France on the morning of September 25. At Orly Airport, he was greeted by President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte. The pontiff visited the Elysee Palace, where he spoke about the place of religion in society and the risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence.

Details

On Saturday, the Pope will hold a mass in Place de la Concorde in Paris and go to Lourdes. On Sunday, he will lead the divine services there, and on Monday he will visit Metz, where an interreligious meeting and mass are scheduled.

Context

At UNESCO headquarters, the Pope called for the protection of children and young people from the dangers of new technologies. After that, he drove through the streets of Paris in a papamobile and led an evening prayer in the Notre Dame Cathedral. Leo XIV became the first pontiff to visit the cathedral since the 2019 fire.
