Pope Leo visited Lampedusa today to highlight the humanitarian crisis for the migrants arriving there.

He prayed for the migrants who have died at sea, called for compassion, safe harbors and legal pathways for migrants.

He laid a wreath at a migrant cemetery, visited the “Gateway to Europe” monument, met migrant families and thanked the Lampedusans for being good Samaritans.
