‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.’

- For my great-grandfather James Kavanagh, who died 111 years ago today in the Great War. 🇫🇷

On the night of June 8, a historic chapter was written in the life of the Church. Pope Leo joined St. John Paul II as one of only two Popes to draw a capacity crowd at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Forty-four years earlier, in 1982, St. John Paul II had drawn a massive crowd to the very same stadium for a youth gathering that captured the hearts of Spain amid chants of “Long live the Pope!”

The pilgrim Pope met there with thousands of young people and left them with a message that continues to resonate to this day. The audio featured in this video comes entirely from that unforgettable encounter in 1982.

Pope Leo sat with the pilots of a flight from Madrid to Barcelona on the second leg of his Spain tour. The pontiff was invited aboard by one of the captains, and waved at Spanish Air Force fighter jet pilots escorting the plane https://t.co/pbv4UuLWFo
