During his homily, Father Meurice said that "when the pope spoke about the Virgin of Our Lady of Charity of el Cobre" (the town of Copper), he said that she is the symbol and the support for the faith of the Cuban people, and the symbol and the support of the Cuban people's struggle for liberty." He said that was a message that "should awaken our souls."
