Pope Leo addressed thousands of young Peruvians at a prayer vigil on the evening of Thursday (November 12), calling on them to pursue their dreams and talents while warning against mistaking sin for enjoyment.

Thousands cheered and filmed the Pope as he left the national soccer stadium that drew a Vatican-estimated 360,000 strong crowd within the stadium and surrounding streets.

Leo is on the final and most personal leg of a three-country tour of South America. Originally from Chicago, the pope spent about 20 years as a missionary and bishop in Peru and holds US and Peruvian citizenship.
