For the Apostolic Prefect, the journey of the Successor of Peter was a grace from heaven: “I don’t know how else to define it, an immense gift that we have received, and like any free gift, in the sense that it has gone far beyond our hopes, our expectations”. He highlighted the immense amount of work that had to be done before the visit to prepare everything.

However, according to Cardinal Marengo, once Pope Francis arrived in the country, all the fatigue “was overcome by the joy of having the Holy Father with us, by his testimony, so humble, simple and close”, a testimony that , he added, immediately generated a connection between Mongolians of all walks of life and the Pontiff.

For the Cardinal, this was one of the central points of the visit: that the Pope not only met with the small Catholic community of Mongolia, but also with people of other confessions, including non-believers.
