The visit of Pope Leo XIV to Argentina is leaving unforgettable moments, and one of them is the testimony of Benjamín Wasinger. The 19-year-old shared that, after seeing the Holy Father, he made an important decision: he wants to be a priest and hopes to enter the seminary next year.
Around 2.5 million faithful gathered at the Monumento a los Españoles in Buenos Aires to participate in the Mass presided over by Pope Leo XIV.
In the middle of the crowd, with a flag over his shoulders and a rosary on his chest, Benjamín, who arrived from La Plata, shared news before C5N cameras that could mark a before and after in his life.
“Pope Leo came and I want to become a priest. I want to be a priest; next year I want to enter the seminary. I am very happy, honestly,” he expressed.
A Message to Pray for Priestly Vocations
But Benjamín did not want to stop at just his own experience; he took the opportunity to encourage everyone not to be afraid of discovering the call God might make to them.
“Pray for priestly vocations and do not be afraid to try,” he requested.
The visit of Pope Leo XIV is also inspiring new vocations!
