الزّيارة الرّسوليّة إلى فرنسا: المؤتمّر الصّحفي في أثناء رحلة العودة من مِتز (Metz)إلى روما، 28 أيلول/سبتمبر 2026

Pope Leo XIV spoke to reporters during his return flight from Metz to Rome on September 28, 2026, following an apostolic visit to France.

The Pope described his time in France as a period filled with blessings, specifically highlighting his visit to the shrine in Lourdes. He noted that accompanying sick and suffering people allowed him to see how God's grace touched hearts and restored dignity to the elderly, the sick, and those excluded from society.

During the trip, the Pope also met with young people at an amphitheater. He said the enthusiasm and hope shown by the youth were evident and expressed his desire to encourage those searching for meaning.
