On the last day of his apostolic journey in Spain, Pope Leo XIV made a strong appeal to traffickers and those who profit from the suffering of migrants, urging them to repent. At the meeting in Tenerife, he emphasized that the money obtained from exploiting the vulnerability of the poor does not bring peace or honor. The Pope listened to the stories of migrants and highlighted the importance of integration as a "mutual journey," in which migrants should not have to give up their heritage, and the host society must expand "its own home" without losing its identity. The Canary Islands have become a magnet for migrants, and the Pope highlighted the need to address the issue of migration with compassion. His visit to Tenerife marked the end of a journey in Spain, under the motto "Lift up your eyes," which invites a rediscovery of spiritual values.
