On the evening of 12 November 2026, Pope Leo XIV led a prayer vigil with young people and university students at the National Stadium in Lima, during his homecoming visit to Peru.
EWTN News reported that about 60,000 young people filled the stadium, and local authorities said around 300,000 more followed from the surrounding area, according to Angelus News. In his address, the pope encouraged young people to discern God’s call, telling them that “learning to recognize the Lord’s voice is essential,” and pointed to Christ’s passion as the model for their own vocation. He was visibly moved during the vigil.
