Pope Leo XIV celebrates Eucharist in Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass before thousands of pilgrims in Lourdes, France, on Sunday. During the Eucharist, the Pope described the site as a blessed place for professing faith in the beauty and sacredness of life.

Earlier in the day, the Pope met with sick people and healthcare professionals. During this meeting, he rejected euthanasia and assisted suicide, stating that what is legal is not always moral. He spoke in defense of the inviolable dignity of human life.

The Pope concluded the day by leading the Rosary and the traditional candlelit procession. He encouraged the sick and pilgrims to maintain invincible hope during trials and urged them to share the consolation of Lourdes with their neighbors, loved ones, and the French people.
