>> [ singing ] >> behold the lamb of god, that takes away the sins of the world. blessed are those called to suffer of the lamb. >> lord, i am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say word and my soul

>> [ singing ] >> as we watch the distribution of communion, tens of thousands of people along ben franklin parkway in philadelphia, monsignor sullivan of the archdiocese in new york here with us to sort of walk us through what he has seen, what we have seen and heard. your initial thoughts on the homily delivered by pope francis? >> the most impressive thing is that he spoke on the same readings that are being read today in every single catholic church through the world. no special readings. he just chose the readings that every catholic will hear today

and he just felt, i think, in a message that has been so much a part of his message, that you can contain that spirit. that god speaks where he will and i think that message is just delivered so very directly and clearly. >> and a message of inclusivety and tolerance and a lot of love. >> it certainly was. even when said it was -- he was speaking directly, it was spoken with such a kindness, with such a warmth that even when he speaks words that might be a little jarring, he does it with a sincerity and with a warmth that makes it a lot easier to hear and a lot easier to listen to. >> when it comes from him, though, as somebody once said to me, it moves the needle, perhaps, a little bit more. >> i think i think so. a little bit different than a little bit of a homily in a local parish. >> for sure.

>> go ahead. >> your duty and your job as bishops, as monsignors, as clergy after the pope is gone, had how important for you to sieze the moment now that the spiritual juices are flowing in the hearts of so many catholics? >> well, what i have said to variety of people, and i actually said it this morning in the church i was in, i said, you know, if we treat pope francis merely as a rock star who is concerts we like and we go home unchanged, we are not being true to who we are. just as he is a disciple of christ and he tries to communicate to us the missage, now we have to live it. this is a tremendous opportunity that, shame on us if we don't figure out a way to live it better in our own lives and others. >> i suppose you would say in on that? >> exactly. it's actually to -- you know,

let the spirit move us and not be bound by a way of doing things that kind of tries to control god's spirit. >> this, make no doubt about it, is about evangelization. do you anticipate it to continue after he is long gone. >> i have seen incredible impact in him. in the way that people talk about faith and spirituality and religion. and i hope that what he has talked about, whether it be before congress, the united nations, are or with the immigrants, refugees served by catholic charities, it helps us to have those conversations that we need to have to kind of make our world a better place. that's what i'm hoping. >> in fact, i was struck by listening to his homily as well as some of the other messages

he has given during this ten day speech, is his message really is that the spirit is accessible. as you listen to him, he really makes it simple. and i think sometimes what keeps people away from religion is that they think it's complicated. it's going to require them to do something they may not necessarily be good at or want to do. >> you know who his main mentor was in doing that, right? jesus. jesus, you know, spoke to everybody. i have to say, one of the things that i get sad about sometimes when i hear how pope francis speaks, i think maybe i'm doing my job for all these years because he comes along and said the basic message we have all believed in and people are resonating. it's a call for us as priests to say maybe we make it a little too complicated at times?

to the church and say i am back because of what i have heard, seen, because of this pope? >> i have had people who have come up to me and said, you know, i can believe again. interesting? who you bad. and actually, i even had a very good friend say to me, who is not catholic, a little suspicious of catholics, she said, you know, maybe i should -- i want to become an honorary catholic. so by text i made her an honorary catholic. >> if i can ask you, what do you think the pope will make of his time spent here in new york and in washington and philadelphia? >> first time. >> his first visit to america. did we live up to some exceptions, live down to some? >> you know what's interesting to me? what he communicated to me, and i hop -- i think to a lot of

other people, is that to a certain extent we all want america. north america, south america. now, he hadn't been to the united states, but he is an american. and what we north americans have to understand that we are americans and south america is part of it. it was incredible for someone appreciation. went before congress, he talked about incredible americans. when he talked to us about some of the things we have to better, i didn't feel i was being yelled at or collided. it was somebody who had a deep respect for values, our traditions. he just called us to live up to him. i think he will go back and say, you know, those north americans, not so bad people. i kind of like them. >> do you think he had the magnitude of the impression of new york, the size of it? the pace of it? >> the diversity of it as well. >> you know, i know when he came to east hall and he met with those immigrants and refugees helped by catholic charities, i know he got a sense of the

i mean, there was people in that room from every single continent expect antarctica. they didn't come because they were afraid of indian summer. when he walked into the room, the diversity. so many were in there, native dress, garb. you know, i think it was because most of the people in the room spoke spanish. easily. i think he got a tremendous about. >> how do you respond to, i wouldn't call it criticism, but for lack of a better word, let's go with that, when the pope speaks about things such as climate change that he stepped out of his role as a spiritual stepped into a role as either a political guide or advocate? >> you know, here is what i say to it. if he didn't talk about somebody needing a decent meal, he talks about somebody needing a decent

house, clean air. well, who can be against those things? obviously, the way we organize ourselves as a society, the policies we set have political implication. but if you are talking about a decent meal, a decent house, clean air, those are things we need to figure out how to do together. >> as a leader, my thought is you feel some responsibility to think about those things that in some way affect all of the people -- >> yeah. and even when he began at the white house, very early on he said, you know, i am encouraged by president obama wanting to reduce air pollution. well, is anybody in favor of increasing air pollution? i mean, it was put in a very direct way. you may disagree on the way we do it. but the goal of having cleaner air, i think he presented things in a way when he said here is what we have to be about. you figure out the politics about it. >> how much of his acceptance in

to the things he says, but the way he carries himself, tremendous with tremendous perks and prestige, yet he sets it aside and says i am not interested in that. the folk is in. >> he did three things that won the day. when he went to pay his own bill at the hotel. when he got on the same bus with the other cardinals. and when he chose to live in the hotel those three things i think made his message able to be heard. and that's where i think you're right. >> and those three things happened in the first two days. >> you only have one chance to make a first impression. >> well, he made it. love that fiat? >> i love the fiat. i love that fiat. isn't that just great? >> it's really fabulous. >> a mini car. >> yes.

say something and i think, you know, said, you know, by simply doing that, he communicated that maybe we don't need as many big cars. you know, he didn't say anything. but if he could get around in it, maybe we should think about a little bit about how we use the resources we have. >> based on what you saw and heard, do you think was able and happy to access the people, to have access to them? which is so near and dear to him. i know security and that can be a battle in terms of protecting this head of state. >> yeah. >> while at the same time giving him the freedom to touch the whole. >> i think it was difficult. i understand the secret service. they want to protect him. i think it was up to him, he would have done a lot more wandering with people, which is why i think he loved east harlem. we let him wander with the

most of the program was just him kind of being with the immigrants and refugees that we are helping. if you asked him, he said, you know, getting more opportunity to be with the crowds. >> again, security is charged with make sure he is okay. >> we latch on to every opportunity when he kissed a baby. when he went to a disabled child. those moments that are unscripted. >> i'll tell you an unscripted moment, which didn't make any of the news clips. when he wandered through the crowds in east harlem, catholic charities are helping the 25 different places, he saw in the back a very disabled blind woman. and towards the end of it one of his aides came to me and said could we bring that important to meet him on the way out? and apart from the crowd he

blessed her, spoke with her, and that just was such an incredibly warm occasion. so those are the things that really enlive him, make him alive. >> sure. yeah. there had been some criticism of him, that he did not say enough about the victims of sexual abuse. and he met with people today and he also had some words for cardinals that he met with. do you think -- and he also met with prisoners. >> right. >> how important were those things on his schedule, do you think? >> creditically important. whenever we talk about the awful, the tragedy of the sexual abuse scandal, we always have to begin with an apology. and we can never apologize enough and we can never do enough to try to make it not happen again. so the answer is, we're never going to do enough. direction?

has he done things? has he spoken to the leadership about how they should act? i think he's hitting the right -- not the right tones, but the right things and actually moving us in the direction. but you always begin by apologizing and you always realize you can never do enough. >> what do you make of the visit to the prison today? cardinal dolan has made a regular habit of that. >> he has. and it was also very interesting. he visited both violent and non-violent offenders. >> yes. >> and so nobody is apart from god's mercy or god's love. even if you have done something horrendous, something awful, it doesn't mean you don't have to pay for it, but you're still not apart from god's love. i think he communicated that incredibly. >> it takes us back to the tone of his homily today. >> yes. >> that the word is open to everyone. >> to everyone. >> the spirit is there. >> again going back to what i

said before, what i think is the challenge for the rest of us, success with everybody. >> here he is meeting on the left-hand side there. that was from this morning from his meeting with prisoners there. >> right. >> very, very special. >> so i think we selfishly start thinking how do we get him to come back? >> well, he has already got his next papal trip. >> where is he going? >> i want to say it is -- >> i can't help you out. i was reading about it. >> oh, it's -- maybe it's asia. we will get the answer it to that. but he has already had the recent trip to south america where he visited three countries there. and he comes to cuba first. then three cities here. did you get the impression that, listening to him, i had the

square garden and also outside st. patrick's cathedral. the speech that he gives with the homily, wherever it might be, largely is tailored to those who are listening and those who are surrounding him. >> right. >> in his presence there. and sometimes he was a little personal. sometimes he was a little political. but alway post oral. >> the streams applied to the immigrants. and he alluded to the fact that king boulevard in harlem and that he had a dream and immigrants and refugees should also not be stopped by the obstacles to pursue their dreams. >> a lot of research went into this trip. >> for sure. >> and he came absolutely prepared.

>> how much in advance, you know, putting you on the spot here, and if you don't know that's fine, do you think the speeches are prepared before he knows where he going to go? yesterday the speech in philadelphia was sprinkled with words like liberty and freedom and independence. >> the trip was begun being planned six months ago. i think when the schedule is set i think from that point on, you know, there is a beginning of what themes do i want to hit? what do i want to talk about? and so i think it's an iterative process over those six or eight months. >> we're talking here, the community was offered, am i saying that correctly, in philadelphia. some of the practical here now, how much of a job is it to offer holy communion to so many people? >> it could be half a million people or more. >> it is a logistical task that

>> because i was amazed at how they did it.

the service continues there. >> o lord, bestow us in mind and body that we may -- our whole suffering we unite whenever we

pray forever in love. >> your holiness, bishops and all the many thousands of friends who filled the parkway, this has been a week of fellowship and blessing and a papal visit dedicated to the beauty of the family. none of us will ever forget these days for the rest of our lives. there aren't enough words to thank all of you for being here to share in god's love and to give god the florie for the success of the -- glory for the success of the world meeting of families. but i need to try. philadelphia has a very big heart and it's full today with gratitude, with confidence in each other as children of a loving god, and with hope that today will begin a new spirit

our city and in our church. we owe a huge debt to the mayor, the governor, former governor corbett, and all the generous city, state, and federal workers even possible. a special thanks to all of the wonderful donors, sponsors, world meeting co-chairs, staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to bring this celebration to fruition. > [ applause ] >> thanks to all my brother priests and bishops, religious and all who traveled and sacrificed to be here. and, finally, thanks to all of you here tonight.

>> most holefully father, thank you for being here with us to conclude the families in philadelphia. for all of us those here present and all those around the world who have followed us, this beautiful boulevard, benjamin franklin, has become like the road to -- you spoke to us of the beauty of family, the hearts of our families very truly burning within us. and now we have broken the bread

the disciples on the night that jesus is truly present among us. he has opened our heart, our eyes, and pushed us to go along the world to light the fire of love in all of the families of the world. here in philadelphia families from more than 100 countries have shared six days that have taught them that truly the church is a family people and a people of families. really, really beautiful. terrific people. that must be --

> [ applause ] >> these people that must be of family love for a more family world. god's dream from the first moment of creation has been to make all peoples into one family. a family rich in diversity like the coat of many colors that jacob gave to his son joseph. a garment made beautiful by the richness of its difference. from our meeting here in

must make our own this dream of god. yes, god gives us and our families the gift of participating in his dream. after the bishops in october, the jubilee will begin. and next december 27th, during the feast of all the family of nazareth, the jubilee of families will be celebrated in all of the diocese of the world. thethe shrines will be opened, but at the same time we must open the doors of our homes and our hearts, all the doors to welcome

in need of love and mercy. this is the prophecy that all families are called upon to fulfill and in this way each family will become a sentry of mercy. from philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection, the city that has shown the liberty bell, the family bell is peeling out, calling families to welcome the stranger afflicted in the brothers in their difficulties and their joys. holy father, all families here

that call. > [ applause ] >> and now, dear families, it is a great joy for me to announce that the holy father has decided that the next world meeting of families will be held in 2018 in

[ applause ] >> holy father, the acceptance is the first step on our pilgrim journey to dublin and the degree of people of families we interested the pilgrim road with you. now we will be with you in spirit as you attend to rome where next time the scene will begin.

fathers share with them the joy and the dream of this people of families. yes, we are a spring for family and these families bring the gospel of love and family to all the world as a sign of the favor five families from five continents should receive from you 100,000 copies of the gospel of luke. they will distribute to the poor of their home cities. indeed, in their cities.

europe, and in sydney for australia. in addition, one more family has come here to philadelphia from das mass kiss in syria. week. handed. they, too, will have the gospel to give to families who live in the areas of bombardment. but we also want to give them what we have collected at this mass from the thousands of generous families you received in front of you that money will be used to buy -- in the

this gift a sign of our love and our closeness to these people and the for the city that we said the first moment of the missionary of the apostle paul. may peace come soon to syria and to the world. holy father, we thank you very, very much for your presence and for your words.

[ applause ] >> may the lord always be with you. >> bow down for the blessing. blessing. may you always be holy and pure

the righteous of the lord and teach you with the words of the cloth. may this touch you in the spirit of salvation and with charity for christ our lord. >> amen. >> and may the mrs ing of almighty -- the blessing of almighty lord, the father, the son, and the holy spirit come >> amen. >> go for the. the mass is ended. >> god bless you, you all. thank you very much for your

and i ask you to pray for me. don't forget. > [ applause ] >> [ singing ] >> and so the mass in philadelphia along benjamin franklin parkway has come to annd. pope francis ending the mass the way he has with just about every appearance. don't forget to pray for me. welcome back to our coverage. i am joe torres.

we have been watching the mass with monsignor sullivan, catholic charities, the new york archdiocese of new york. finally this ten days, these ten wonderful days are over. the trip to cuba, here to the united states, washington, new york, ending in philadelphia. you have to be feeling really good about your faith, about the pope's visit, and about the reception he has received. >> i am feeling enthusiastic and scared. >> scared? >> because, because we don't now have a job to do of living out what we told us, trying to encourage others to kind of live the gospel better. so i'm a little scared that we are not going to be up to the task of carrying out the good news that he so wonderfully communicated to so many people. >> how will you measure the impact of his visit? >> not quite sure how to

measure it. not quite sure. i think -- and quite frankly, you know, if i might borrow a little bit from the scriptures, you got to so with the seeds. we got to keep sowing the seeds. >> so, you know, after a week, look, you have been preparing for months, what is next week look like? you spent so much time preparing for this visit. now you are talking about starting to sow the seeds. do you sit down, talk to each other to really talk about how you make some of his -- turn some of his words into action? >> i can be very specific, sandra. what i am going to spend a good part of this week doing is figuring out how we can help some of those new yorkers on the streets have a safe day this week. we have to commit to getting up and running in the next couple of months. 150 places where those people who unfortunately are on the

streets can have a safe place to, for me, that's one of the ways that i am going to live out the message of pope francis. >> only seconds left. in your estimation, the legacy of this visit will be what when it's all measured and looked at? >> the legacy will be if more of us in these united states are more compassionate, more just, treat our neighbors with dignity, tear down some of the walls and build the common good. >> what are you hoping that pope francis says when he gets on the plane back to rome about his visit? >> i hope he says, i met a people who are warm, a people with dreams, a people who want to be better than they are and want to reach out beyond their natural constraints to create a better world. >> i was amazed what he said yesterday. what you have got here in america, count your blessings. they are many. and you have here things

people in other parts of the world don't have. use that for the betterment of the rest of society. >> i think that's exactly it. we have been given great blessings. to those who a lot has been given, a lot is expected let's go live it. >> a pleasure having you here with us. it's been a great couple of days for awful us here in new york city and the whole metropolitan area. >> eyewitness news will be back
