Pope Francis paused at the border fence between Mexico and the United States to pray for migrants.
Silence fell over the nearby Ciudad Juárez fairgrounds as Francis walked up a ramp lined with yellow flowers to a specially built platform facing across the fence toward the United States.
Next to a giant crucifix, he made the sign of the cross and blessed hundreds of people gathered a few yards away on the U.S. side.
After a brief moment of prayer, Francis walked down the ramp and got back on his popemobile to head for the fairgrounds. That's where he will celebrate his last Mass during a five-day Mexico tour.
