Thank you

Thank you to Mexico and to all Mexicans. May the Lord and the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe accompany you always

Welcomed

I have felt welcomed and received with affection and hope by the Mexican people. Thank you for opening the doors to your lives.

Tears

Tears can generate a fracture which is able to open ourselves for conversion.

Assassins

Jesus would never ask us to be assassins; he calls us to be disciples. He would never send us to die. He invites us to life.

Hope

You have asked me for a word of hope: what I have to offer you has a name: Jesus Christ

Best

In Jesus I have met the one who is able to bring out the best in me

Eyes

Simply looking at you, O Mother, to have eyes only for you, looking upon you without saying anything... pic.twitter.com/CEBGRLC7ZJ

Young

Mexico has a young face. This makes it possible to contemplate and plan for a future, for a tomorrow. This offers hope.

Yes

Mary is the woman who says yes, a yes of surrender to God, a yes of surrender to her brothers and sisters. May we follow her example.

Dear Mexican friends, you are in my heart. Let us put our trust in the Blessed Virgin of Guadalupe who always looks on us with tenderness.

Grace

Today is a day of grace. The meeting with Patriarch Kirill is a gift from God. Pray for us.

Eyes

In Mexico I will look into the eyes of the Virgin Mary and implore her to look upon us always with mercy. I entrust my journey to her.
