Pope Leo XIV prays for peace at Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV prayed for peace at the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes during the second day of his apostolic journey in France. According to Agenzia SIR and Religión Digital, the Pope asked for a society free from violence and hatred where people can work, raise families, and live with serenity.

During his time at the sanctuary, the Pope urged people to reject the logic of war forever. He stated that the history of the Church and humanity is shaped by those who create space, initiate peace processes, build trust, and encourage life, rather than those who seek to dominate. He also praised women for their role in building a civilization of love as an alternative to cultures that cause loneliness and community breakdown.
