The Pope addressed over a million participants of the Youth Jubilee in Rome
Pope Leo XIV told the more than one million participants in Rome's Youth Jubilee at the Tor Vergata campus that they were showing that another world—one of friendship and dialogue—is possible. In his homily at Sunday Mass, quoting St. John Paul II, he appealed for the building of more humane and fraternal societies.
Pilgrims from 146 countries participated in the Youth Jubilee, the largest event of the Holy Year. Approximately 20,000 Poles attended, including those living abroad.
This was the first meeting of the Pope elected in May with such large crowds of the faithful.
The night from Saturday to Sunday, after the evening vigil, the youth spent on campus waiting for the morning papal mass.
During the homily, delivered in Italian, Spanish, and English, Leo XIV said, referring to human life: "Fragility is part of the miracle that we are. Let us think of the symbol of grass: isn't a flowering meadow beautiful? Of course, it is delicate, composed of thin, fragile blades, susceptible to drying, bending, and breaking, but at the same time, immediately replaced by others that grow after them."
"Dear friends, we are like this too: we were created for this. Not for a life in which everything is obvious and unchanging, but for an existence that is constantly reborn in gift, in love. In this way, we constantly strive for something more, something that no created reality can give us," he explained.
"In the face of this thirst, let us not deceive our hearts by trying to quench it with ineffective substitutes. Rather, let us listen to it. Let us make it a stool upon which we can climb, so that, like children, we can look out the window of encounter with God on tiptoe," he encouraged.
He also recalled the words spoken by Pope Francis in Lisbon during World Youth Day: "Everyone is called to grapple with great questions that have no simple or immediate answers, but which invite us to embark on a journey, to overcome ourselves, to go beyond our limits, to the detachment without which there is no flight. Let us not be alarmed, therefore, if we find ourselves internally thirsty, restless, unfulfilled, yearning for meaning and a future."
Leo XIV addressed the Jubilee participants: "In recent days, you have experienced many beautiful experiences. You have met with peers from different parts of the world, representing different cultures. You have exchanged knowledge, shared expectations, and engaged in dialogue with the city through art, music, information technology, and sport."
He explained that this shows that the fullness of life does not depend on what one has accumulated and what one possesses.
"Rather, it is linked to what we can joyfully receive and share with others. Buying, accumulating, and consuming are not enough. We must raise our eyes, look upwards, to what is above, to realize that everything in the realities of the world has meaning to the extent that it serves to unite us with God and with our brothers and sisters in love, developing within us heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, forgiveness, and peace, following the example of Christ," he emphasized.
He told the youth that hope is Jesus.
– It is he who, as Saint John Paul II said, “arouses in you the desire to make something great of your lives, to strive for the perfection of yourselves and of society, making it more humane and fraternal,” emphasized Leo XIV, quoting the words of the Polish Pope from the World Youth Day, which took place in the same place in August 2000.
"Strive for what is great, for holiness, wherever you are. Don't settle for anything less," the Pope added.
He appealed to the youth: – infect everyone you meet with your enthusiasm and the testimony of your faith.
During the mass, the faithful recited a prayer in Polish: "May the God of harmony guide those in power along the paths of peace, so that the cruelty of war may cease and a just and fraternal world may be built." It was read by Hanna Bieniek from Lubliniec in the Silesian Voivodeship.
At the end of Mass, in his address before the Angelus, the Pope called the Jubilee "a cascade of grace for the Church and the whole world."
– For this I would like to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart – he added.
He noted: "We are closer than ever to young people who suffer the worst evils inflicted by other people. We stand with the young people of Gaza, with the young people of Ukraine and with every land drenched in the blood of war."
"Young brothers and sisters, you are a sign that another world is possible; a world of brotherhood and friendship, where conflicts are not resolved with weapons but through dialogue. With Christ, this is possible, thanks to his love, forgiveness, and the power of the Holy Spirit," said Leo XIV.
He appealed to young people to be seeds of hope wherever they live: in their families, among friends, at school, in the workplace and in sports.
The Pope prayed for two participants of the Youth Jubilee – a Spanish and an Egyptian – who died during it.
Leo XIV renewed Pope Francis' invitation to World Youth Day in Seoul, South Korea, from August 3 to 8, 2027. A large delegation from that country was present.
– Let us continue to dream and hope together – urged the Pope.
He also asked: – Give greetings to those young people who could not come to Rome because – he added – they could not leave their countries.
– There are places from which young people could not come, for reasons we know – he noted.
"Carry this joy, this enthusiasm to the entire world. You are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. Pass this greeting on to all your friends, to all young people who need a message of hope," he appealed.
The youth bid farewell to the Pope with a long and enthusiastic cry of "Papa Leone" as he toured the campus in the Popemobile.

Pope Leon XIV told over a million participants of the Youth Jubilee in Rome on the Tor Vergata campus that they show that another world - friendship and dialogue - is possible. In the homily during the mass on Sunday, quoting Saint. John Paul II, he appealed to build more human and fraternal societies.
Pilgrims from 146 countries participated in the Youth Jubilee, the largest event of the Holy Year. About 20,000 Poles came, including those living abroad.
It was the first meeting of the Pope chosen in May with such great crowds of the faithful.
Night from Saturday to Sunday, after evening watching, they spent the young people on the campus in anticipation of the morning papal mass.
During it in a homily delivered in Italian, Spanish and English Leon XIV said, referring to human life: - Fragility is part of the miracle we are. Let's think about the grass symbol: isn't the blooming meadow beautiful? Of course, it is delicate, composed of thin, sensitive blades, susceptible to drying, bending and breaking, but at the same time immediately replaced by others that grow after them.
- Dear friends, we are also like that: we are created for this. Not to live, in which everything is obvious and unchanged, but to existence, which is constantly reborn in a gift, in love. In this way, we constantly strive for something that no reality created can give us - he explained.
- In the face of this desire, let's face it by trying to extinguish it with ineffective substitutes. Rather, let's hear him. Let's make it a stool, which we can climb, to look through the window of the meeting with God, he encouraged.
He also recalled the words spoken by Pope Francis in Lisbon during World Youth Day: "Everyone is called to face great questions, which there is no simplified or immediate answer, but which encourage you to travel, to overcome ourselves, go beyond their limitations, to detachment, without which there is no flight. Let's not be worried if we find that we are Thirsty internally, restless, unfulfilled, longing for sense and future. "
Leon XIV turned to the participants of the jubilee: - In recent days you experienced many beautiful experiences. You met with peers from around the world, belonging to different cultures. You exchanged knowledge, shared your expectations, conducted a dialogue with the city through art, music, computer science and sport.
He explained that it can be seen in this that the fullness of life does not depend on what has gathered and what you have.
- It is rather related to what we can gladly accept and share with others. Buying, collecting, consumption is not enough. We have to erect our eyes, look up, at what is up, to realize that everything among the reality of the world makes sense as long as it serves us with God and brothers in love, developing in us cordial compassion, goodness, humility, quietness, patience, forgiveness, peace like Christ - he emphasized.
He told young people that Jesus is hope.
- It is he, as Saint John Paul II said, "he arouses the desire to make your life something great to strive to improve yourself and society, making them more human and brotherly," emphasized Leon XIV, quoting the words of the Polish Pope from World Youth Day, which took place in the same place in August 2000.
- Pursue to what is wonderful, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not be satisfied with something smaller - added the Pope.
He appealed to the youth: - Infect everyone you meet with your enthusiasm and testimony of your faith.
During the mass, the prayer of the faithful in Polish sounded: "Let God agree to the rulers of peace, that the cruelty of wars would cease and that the just and brotherly world would be built." It was read by Hanna Bieniek from Lubliniec in the Śląskie Voivodeship.
At the end of the mass, in a speech before the prayer of the Angelus of the Lord, the Pope called the jubilee a "cascade of grace for the Church and the whole world."
"I would like to thank each of you with all your heart," he added.
He noted: - We are closer than ever young people who suffer from the worst evil, caused by other people. We are with young inhabitants of Gaza, with young from Ukraine and with every land of the blood of war.
- Young brothers and sisters, you are a sign that another world is possible; The world of brotherhood and friendship, in which conflicts are not resolved, but through dialogue. It is possible with Christ, thanks to his love, forgiveness and power of the Holy Spirit - said Leon XIV.
He appealed that young people be a grain of hope where they lived; In the family, among friends, at school, work and sport.
The Pope prayed for two participants of the youth jubilee - a Spanish and an Egyptian who died during it.
Leon XIV repeated an invitation to the World Youth Day in Seoul in South Korea from 3 to 8 August 2027 issued by Pope Francis. A large delegation from this country was present.

- Dear friends, we are also like that: we are created for this. Not to live, in which everything is obvious and unchanged, but to existence, which is constantly reborn in a gift, in love. In this way, we constantly strive for something that no reality created can give us - he explained.
- In the face of this desire, let's face it by trying to extinguish it with ineffective substitutes. Rather, let's hear him. Let's make it a stool, which we can climb, to look through the window of the meeting with God, he encouraged.
He also recalled the words spoken by Pope Francis in Lisbon during World Youth Day: "Everyone is called to face great questions, which there is no simplified or immediate answer, but which encourage you to travel, to overcome ourselves, go beyond their limitations, to detachment, without which there is no flight. Let's not be worried if we find that we are Thirsty internally, restless, unfulfilled, longing for sense and future. "
Leon XIV turned to the participants of the jubilee: - In recent days you experienced many beautiful experiences. You met with peers from around the world, belonging to different cultures. You exchanged knowledge, shared your expectations, conducted a dialogue with the city through art, music, computer science and sport.
He explained that it can be seen in this that the fullness of life does not depend on what has gathered and what you have.
- It is rather related to what we can gladly accept and share with others. Buying, collecting, consumption is not enough. We have to erect our eyes, look up, at what is up, to realize that everything among the reality of the world makes sense as long as it serves us with God and brothers in love, developing in us cordial compassion, goodness, humility, quietness, patience, forgiveness, peace like Christ - he emphasized.
He told young people that Jesus is hope.
- It is he, as Saint John Paul II said, "he arouses the desire to make your life something great to strive to improve yourself and society, making them more human and brotherly," emphasized Leon XIV, quoting the words of the Polish Pope from World Youth Day, which took place in the same place in August 2000.
- Pursue to what is wonderful, to holiness, wherever you are. Do not be satisfied with something smaller - added the Pope.
He appealed to the youth: - Infect everyone you meet with your enthusiasm and testimony of your faith.
During the mass, the prayer of the faithful in Polish sounded: "Let God agree to the rulers of peace, that the cruelty of wars would cease and that the just and brotherly world would be built." It was read by Hanna Bieniek from Lubliniec in the Śląskie Voivodeship.
At the end of the mass, in a speech before the prayer of the Angelus of the Lord, the Pope called the jubilee a "cascade of grace for the Church and the whole world."
"I would like to thank each of you with all your heart," he added.
He noted: - We are closer than ever young people who suffer from the worst evil, caused by other people. We are with young inhabitants of Gaza, with young from Ukraine and with every land of the blood of war.
- Young brothers and sisters, you are a sign that another world is possible; The world of brotherhood and friendship, in which conflicts are not resolved, but through dialogue. It is possible with Christ, thanks to his love, forgiveness and power of the Holy Spirit - said Leon XIV.
He appealed that young people be a grain of hope where they lived; In the family, among friends, at school, work and sport.
The Pope prayed for two participants of the youth jubilee - a Spanish and an Egyptian who died during it.
Leon XIV repeated an invitation to the World Youth Day in Seoul in South Korea from 3 to 8 August 2027 issued by Pope Francis. A large delegation from this country was present.
- Let's keep dreams and hope together - called the Pope.
He also asked: - Give greetings to these young people who could not come to Rome, because - he added - they could not leave their countries.
- There are places from which young people could not come, for the reasons we know - he noted.
- Take this joy, this enthusiasm to the whole world. You are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. Tell this greeting to all your friends, all young people who need to send hope - he appealed.
Young people for a long time and enthusiastically said goodbye to the Pope, raising "Papa Leone" when they traveled the campus in papamobile.

Pope Leon XIV told over a million participants of the Youth Jubilee in Rome on the Tor Vergata campus that they show that another world - friendship and dialogue - is possible. In the homily during the mass on Sunday, quoting Saint. John Paul II, he appealed to build more human and fraternal societies.
Pilgrims from 146 countries participated in the Youth Jubilee, the largest event of the Holy Year. About 20,000 Poles came, including those living abroad.
It was the first meeting of the Pope chosen in May with such great crowds of the faithful.
Night from Saturday to Sunday, after evening watching, they spent the young people on the campus in anticipation of the morning papal mass.
During it in a homily delivered in Italian, Spanish and English Leon XIV said, referring to human life: - Fragility is part of the miracle we are. Let's think about the grass symbol: isn't the blooming meadow beautiful? Of course, it is delicate, composed of thin, sensitive blades, susceptible to drying, bending and breaking, but at the same time immediately replaced by others that grow after them.
