La joie d’accueillir le Pape Léon en France

Pope Leo is scheduled to visit France, with stops planned for Paris, UNESCO, Lourdes, and Metz.

The Archdiocese of Avignon released a pilgrim booklet editorial stating that the visit aims to provide the Pope with an opportunity to meet with people, offer words of encouragement, and pray with the faithful. The diocese noted that the Pope will also encounter the current hopes and sufferings of the country during his travels.

The theme for this apostolic journey is taken from the Gospel of John, specifically the phrase regarding Jesus coming so that the world may have life. This theme serves as the spiritual focus for the upcoming encounters.
