Pope Leo XIV visits Accueil Notre-Dame in Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV visited the Accueil Notre-Dame at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes on Sunday afternoon, September 27, to meet with sick pilgrims. During the visit, the Pope told the sick that they are not a burden but are the beating heart of humanity and a precious treasure for the Church. He stated that human dignity cannot be measured or negotiated and urged people to reject the temptation to take lives under the guise of false compassion.

Mathias Terrier, who manages the center, noted that Saint John Paul II visited the facility in 2004. Before the Pope spoke, Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes said that in Lourdes, illness is not hidden or viewed as a loss of dignity.
