⛪ Yesterday in Chiclayo
On Friday the Pope celebrated Mass at the Pampas de Pimentel: according to local authorities, some 500,000 faithful attended and around one million people lined the city's streets (B0910). In his homily he thanked the faithful for their prayers, "especially for my health during this time of trial which, with God's help, I am overcoming", and concluded: "the world is waiting for us and the mission is only beginning." To the clergy and synodal teams, some 5,000 people at the Shrine of Our Lady of Peace (B0913), he said that "our primary identity is that of sons and daughters of God" (Vatican News); to the students of the Santo Toribio de Mogrovejo Catholic University, some 6,000 on campus (B0914), he said that "limitation is not a manufacturing defect, but rather the very condition of human grandeur."
