Pope Leo XIV participates in procession at Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV joined pilgrims in a candlelit procession at the Sanctuary of Lourdes to participate in the traditional torchlight procession and the Rosary. The rector of the pilgrimage site stated that the Pope requested to walk behind the statue of the Virgin Mary as a pilgrim among pilgrims.

During his address to the assembly, the Pope asked that the light carried by the faithful never fade in their lives. He noted that the gathering responded to the request made by Our Lady to priests through Saint Bernadette to come to the site in procession. He described the light held by the pilgrims as the light of hope that remains even during life's trials.

The Pope also spoke about the importance of the sick, calling them privileged witnesses to the transformation of existence through faith and love for God and others. He concluded by inviting the sick to join the procession to experience this reality.
