Papa Leon s-a rugat în Grota de la Lourdes pentru ca Franţa să aibă "lideri înţelepţi şi generoşi"
Pope Leo XIV prayed at the Grotto of Lourdes, seeking wise leaders for France during a pilgrimage attended by over 200,000 people. He emphasized the need for harmony and peace, urging for leaders ready to serve the common good ahead of upcoming elections. The Pope also offered a golden rose to the statue of the Virgin Mary and led prayers for the sick and suffering. Lourdes, a major Catholic pilgrimage site, is known for miraculous healings, with the Church recognizing 72 cases. This marks the Pope's third personal visit to Lourdes, where he will hold an outdoor mass and meet with victims of sexual violence in the Church.
