The Pope made several surprise appearances, including an unexpected popemobile salute, thrilling crowds and demonstrating his pastoral warmth. Pilgrims from more than 140 countries have gathered for prayer, cultural exchange, and spiritual renewal, with the Pope urging them to be missionaries and share Christ’s message beyond social media. The event is seen as a major opportunity for the Catholic Church to engage Gen Z and foster a sense of global fraternity amid a world marked by conflict and uncertainty.
