SAN CRISTOBAL: Pope Leo XIV renewed his support for migrants on Friday in the Canary Islands, saying “all of us are migrants” and urged newcomers to do their part to integrate, on the final day of a weeklong visit to Spain focused on migration issues. Calling integration a “reciprocal journey,” the pope urged migrants learn the language of their host country, “to respect its laws, to get to know its customs, to participate in communal life,” during a meeting in Tenerife with organizations that work with migrants.

Pope Leo XIV is travelling to the Canary Islands to draw attention to the plight of migrants who risk their lives every year trying to reach Europe.

En el puerto donde comienza el sexto día del viaje de León XIV a España, al lema de su visita pastoral, "Alza la mirada", le han añadido: "y acoge".
