Pope Leo XIV presided massive young vigil in Buenos Aires

Pope Leo XIV presided over a massive vigil for young people in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, drawing an estimated one million people.

Speaking at the Monumento de los Espanoles, where crowds packed the capital's grand boulevards, the pope urged young Argentines to reject the temptations of money, drugs, pornography and obsession with success, popularity and pleasure.

He also encouraged young people to stand firm through difficulties and model their lives on the example of saints.

After the speech, he stayed and watch fireworks display with the young people.

It was the same place where an estimated 2.5 million people turned out Monday for the pope's main Mass, a record for his pontificate.
