Catholics at Guanajuato Airport were joyful, proud, and thankful for the chance to welcome Pope Benedict XVI on his first visit to a Spanish-speaking Latin American country on March 23.
Many of them told CNA that it was “a marvelous experience.”
Benita Espinoza, who arrived from Mazatlán in the state of Sinaloa, didn't expect to feel the way she did when Pope John Paul II visited to the country. But when she saw Pope Benedict XVI, she said, “I felt something incomparable. That’s why I give thanks to God for allowing me to be here.”
Father Julio Salcedo, of the Missionaries of St. Joseph, noted that the Pope arrived “with great joy.”
