After waiting all day to hear Pope Benedict XVI address them on the evening of March 24, thousands of Mexicans felt moved and inspired by the Pope's call to change the world through God's love.
“We are happy, and support him wholeheartedly because we love him. His words give hope to this country that needs it so much,” said Yolet, a girl from Guadalajara who spoke to CNA after the Pope's appearance at the Plaza de Paz in León.
Yolet said it was a “marvelous” and “once-in-a-lifetime” experience to see the Pope, and hear his words – which she said “will not leave hearts indifferent.”
Alondra Johana Márquez Granados, age 7, was one of the thousands of children who heard the Pope's message about a better future, free from division and strife.
