França: Papa reza pelo fim da guerra, na gruta de Lourdes

Pope Leo XIV prayed for world peace and the protection of human rights during his first visit to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France on September 26, 2026. While praying in the Grotto of Massabielle, the Pope urged world leaders to reject the logic of war and instead promote fundamental human rights.

He asked for fraternal harmony within France, praying that the nation builds a society free from violence and hatred where people can live with tranquility. He also interceded for sick and suffering pilgrims seeking strength and healing at the shrine. Additionally, he encouraged French Catholics to show young people the path of the Gospel to help build a just and fraternal society.

After touching the rock and drinking from the spring, the Pope placed a Rosa de Ouro near the image of Our Lady to highlight Marian devotion.
