Catholic Life Journey to France
من مغارة لورد، البابا لاوُن الرابع عشر يرفع صلاة من أجل فرنسا والسلام في العالم
Pope Leo XIV offered a prayer for France and world peace at the Massabielle grotto in Lourdes on Saturday, September 26, 2026. During the second day of his apostolic journey, the pope traveled by popemobile to meet with a large crowd of believers at the shrine.
While at the grotto, the pope drank from the healing spring, touched the grotto wall, offered golden roses, and lit a candle. He offered a prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes to ask for the rejection of violence, service to the poor and sick, the renewal of faith among families and youth, and the building of a more just and fraternal society. After his prayer, the pope gave a formal blessing to the people gathered there.
