After the meeting in the Cathedral, at 6:00 PM Pope Leo XIV walks to the port area through the Parco del Mare, and at 6:30 PM presides over Holy Mass for the city and for the entire Diocese of Rimini, broadcast live from the Port of Rimini. During the celebration, the original image of the Madonna della Misericordia, patroness of the city, is displayed and venerated. The liturgy is animated by an impressive diocesan musical ensemble of over 800 performers, including 650 choir members and 115 musicians from the youth orchestra directed by maestro Davide Tura, with organ by Paolo Accardi and an ecumenical Italian, Ukrainian and Russian choir performing Byzantine-Slavic chant in the Cathedral. In his homily the Pope says the world offers "scattering distractions" while true rest lies in "returning to oneself," and praises the straightforwardness and solidarity of the people of Romagna, quoting Fr. Oreste Benzi: "In the Church, authority is service."
