Pope Leo XIV comes to Lourdes as a pilgrim and son before his Mother

Description: Pope Leo XIV came to Lourdes as a pilgrim and as a son before his Mother, following in the footsteps of his predecessors.

At the Grotto of Massabielle, he embraced gestures of faith familiar to generations of pilgrims: silent prayer before Our Lady, touching the rock, drinking from the spring, receiving a candle, and entrusting the Church and the world to Mary.

May Our Lady of Lourdes pray for all who are sick, suffering, or carrying a prayer in their hearts. Close description
