Amid growing anticipation for the upcoming arrival of Pope Leo XIV in Spain, we are releasing today a video that brings together some of the most moving moments left in our country by the five visits of Saint John Paul II and the three visits of Benedict XVI.

The video recalls scenes that have already become part of the living memory of the Church in Spain: Saint John Paul II’s encounter with young people at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, which many doubted could be filled and which, in the end, proved too small to welcome all those who wanted to take part; or the unforgettable storm at Cuatro Vientos, when Benedict XVI and hundreds of thousands of young people remained steadfast until the end, in a vigil marked by faith, joy, and hope.

These images show that a papal visit is not simply a historical or ceremonial event. It is a call to lift our gaze. It is Christ coming out to meet a people.

Now, with the upcoming visit of Pope Leo XIV, this story begins again. And this video aims to be a small “audiovisual red carpet” to help prepare hearts, awaken excitement, and encourage those who may think a papal visit is something distant, cold, or boring.

We invite you to watch it, share it, and spread it among your friends, families, parishes, schools, and groups.
