Cardenal Carlos Castillo leads first 2026 procession of Señor de los Milagros

Cardinal Carlos Castillo led the first procession of the Lord of Miracles for 2026 as thousands of faithful gathered for the blessing and opening of the Monastery of the Nazarenas. The event followed the theme of opening hearts alongside Pope Leo XIV.

During his opening message, the Archbishop of Lima invited the faithful to use the month to walk with the Lord of Miracles and find a call to build lives centered on love and hope. He spoke on the Gospel of John, linking the concept of rising with Jesus to the mission of believers to support one another and ensure everyone lives with dignity. Cardinal Castillo also identified the brotherhood as one of the most important signs the Lord of Miracles has left among the people.
