'Peace is possible and we are called to build it' Pope Leo XIV says in Uruguay

Pope Leo XIV's sixth apostolic journey included a visit to Paysandú, Uruguay, where he celebrated Mass for over 40,000 attendees. He emphasized unity and community, using local symbols like the General Artigas bridge and mate to illustrate his message. Following the Mass, he continued his busy schedule with visits to the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary and meetings with various community groups in Montevideo. The day will culminate in a prayer vigil at Centenario Stadium with thousands of young people. On Sunday, he will celebrate Mass in Florida, a significant historical and religious site.
