Pope Leo XIV leads rosary prayer in Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV led a rosary prayer and candlelight procession at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. During the prayer, the pope described himself as a pilgrim among other pilgrims.

He told the faithful that hope is a light that never abandons their lives. While noting that life is often marked by trials, he said people can find joy in knowing they are children of God, loved and saved by Jesus. The pope identified the sick as special witnesses to these truths and suggested looking to Mary as a guiding light.
