Augustinians with the Pope is publishing a special edition featuring the words, homilies, and messages of the Holy Father during his visit to Uruguay. It is available in five languages and three formats: printable PDF, mobile version, and EPUB. This is an invitation to continue listening to the Pope as the journey continues toward Argentina.
There is a phrase often repeated at the end of spiritual exercises: “The exercises don’t end when they are over; they begin when they end.” Something similar happens with the Pope’s apostolic journeys. The farewell does not put an end to what has been experienced, but rather opens a time to welcome, meditate on, and bring to life the words that were heard.
Leo XIV has concluded his visit to Uruguay, the first stage of his apostolic pilgrimage through Latin America. It has been three days of encounters, celebrations, and messages that deserve more than a hurried reading. Now another journey begins: that of personal and communal reflection on what the Successor of Peter wanted to share with the Church.
With this purpose, Augustinians with the Pope is making a special edition titled Leo XIV in Uruguay available to its readers, which brings together the Holy Father’s interventions delivered between November 6 and 8, 2026.
All the Pope’s speeches, to read and share
The publication includes eight sections of interventions, from the first words during the flight to Montevideo to the final celebration before Our Lady of the Thirty-Three. It includes speeches, homilies, and spontaneous greetings, along with an introduction that helps explain the meaning of this first stage of the apostolic journey.
A unique feature of this edition is that it incorporates Augustinian keys that allow for a deeper look into some of Leo XIV’s messages through the thought of Saint Augustine. Justice, interiority, education, the search for God, and community life appear as paths to continue reflecting on what the Pope has said.
The publication is available in the five languages of Augustinians with the Pope: Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, and Italian, with three formats designed for different ways of reading.
The goal is simple: for the Pope’s words to remain accessible and become material for prayer, dialogue, and discernment.
Uruguay leaves its words; the journey continues in Argentina
Among the messages left by this visit, an invitation from the Pope during the Vespers celebrated at the Montevideo Cathedral resonates:
“Dear brothers and sisters, here is one of the secrets of evangelization: to resemble the One whom we announce.”
Perhaps that is also the best way to prolong an apostolic visit: allowing the words we have heard to transform our way of living, of looking at our neighbor, and of announcing the Gospel.
While Uruguay begins to reread what has been experienced, the apostolic journey continues in Argentina. Leo XIV arrived in Buenos Aires on the afternoon of Sunday, November 8, at 4:33 PM local time, to begin the second stage of his pilgrimage.
Tonight, the Holy Father is staying in Buenos Aires. Tomorrow, new encounters, new celebrations, and new words for the Church and for the world await him.
At Augustinians with the Pope, we also want to accompany that other journey that begins when the cameras are turned off: the journey of those who return to the Pope’s words, meditate on them, and discover in them a personal invitation.
Because an apostolic journey ends when the Pope leaves, but its fruits begin when his words find a place in our hearts.
