Pope Leo XIV has celebrated Mass at Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia and has blessed the newly completed 172.5-metre Tower of Jesus Christ during a visit marking the 100th anniversary of Antoni Gaudí’s death. The service has drawn thousands, including Spain’s king, queen and prime minister, and the pope has reiterated that Christians cannot support war.
Emilio Morenatti’s photo from a papal visit captures a fleeting moment of connection. The image, shared on X, triggers a viral search for the boy’s family and prompts reflection on the pope’s interactions with individuals during travels.
