The seven days of Leo XIV in Spain: all the speeches and homilies of the apostolic journey

The apostolic visit of Leo XIV to Spain, held from June 6 to 12, 2026, left a collection of speeches and homilies that allow us to see the complete message the Pope delivered in the country. Unity in the face of polarization, attention to migrants, the defense of human dignity, concern over abuses in the Church, the evangelization of young people, and the role of faith in public life were some of the constant themes of his addresses.

Below, we compile all the addresses, speeches, and homilies delivered by the Holy Father during his stay in Madrid, Barcelona, Gran Canaria, and Tenerife.

June 6 | Madrid

On the first day of his trip, Leo XIV opened his visit with a call to overcome ideological divisions and to recover a culture of encounter. In addition to addressing the authorities and the diplomatic corps, he wished to reach out to the most vulnerable through a visit to a Cáritas social project and concluded the day with a large prayer vigil alongside young people.

June 7 | Madrid

The Solemnity of Corpus Christi marked the second day. The Pope focused his preaching on the centrality of the Eucharist for Christian life, and in the afternoon he reflected with representatives of culture, the arts, the economy, and sports on the need to rebuild social bonds from truth and the common good.

June 8 | Madrid

The third day was marked by the institutional and ecclesial dimension of the trip. Leo XIV spoke in the Congress of Deputies, met with the Spanish bishops, and took part in various pastoral events in the capital. His message stressed the need to strengthen unity and service to the common good.

June 9 | Barcelona

On Tuesday morning, before departing for Barcelona, the Pope met with the volunteers in Madrid.

Already in Catalonia, the Pope focused much of his interventions on the unity of the Church and of society. In Barcelona Cathedral and during the vigil with young people, he insisted on the need to be witnesses of reconciliation in a world marked by fractures and confrontations.

June 10 | Barcelona and Montserrat

The fourth day had a distinctly pastoral character. Leo XIV visited Brians Prison, prayed at Montserrat, met with charitable organizations, and presided over the historic celebration at the Sagrada Família. His words revolved around mercy, hope, and the evangelizing mission of the Church.

June 11 | Gran Canaria

The issue of migration took center stage in the papal agenda in the Canary Islands. Leo XIV visited the port of Arguineguín, a symbol of the Atlantic migration crisis, where he called for seeing migrants as persons with inviolable dignity. He also met with pastoral agents and celebrated a large Mass at the Gran Canaria Stadium.

June 12 | Tenerife

The final day was dedicated to the integration of migrants and the closing of the apostolic journey. Leo XIV thanked the welcome received throughout the week and called for building a society based on reconciliation, peace, and fraternity.
