Pope Leo XIV recites Angelus in Lourdes

Pope Leo XIV recited the Angelus with pilgrims and the faithful at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes following a Holy Mass held in the sanctuary's meadow.

During his introduction to the prayer, the Pope invited all believers and Christian communities to pray the Rosary throughout October. He requested that these prayers specifically seek an end to wars and the establishment of peace among conflicting peoples. He also encouraged people to support this prayer through acts of mercy, penance, and a commitment to dialogue and reconciliation.
