More than 100 members of the Castellers de Vilafranca built a 10-metre-high human tower to welcome Pope Leo XIV in Barcelona.
The traditional Catalan display, which is seen as a symbol of teamwork and cultural identity, was performed before a crowd of about 40,000 people.
In a world torn apart by wars and divisions, in a society that is increasingly fragmented and individualistic, we wish to be witnesses and prophets of unity, welcome, harmony, and peace, even at the cost of sacrifice and renunciation. We wish to offer our “yes,” ready if necessary to die to ourselves, to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again, to renounce the superfluous in order to build upon what is essential and lasts forever (Mt 16:24–26). #ApostolicJourney
Un momento histórico para la Basílica de la Sagrada Família. Así hemos vivido la misa solemne presidida por el Papa León XIV y la posterior bendición e inauguración de la torre de Jesucristo.
¡Gracias a todas las personas que nos habéis acompañado! 🙌
