Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday closed the first leg of his Apostolic Journey to Spain in Madrid, telling hundreds of volunteers that a world 'filled with self-interest and the search for profit' needs Christians to act as a 'leaven of selflessness' and help heal what he called 'our ailing humanity.'
The gathering brought together men and women who had spent weeks and, in some cases, months preparing for Pope Leo XIV's visit to Spain. Church organisers had appealed for help with liturgies, crowd management and charity initiatives around the papal events.
