Pope Leo XIV celebrates Mass in Lourdes during a four-day visit to France. Multiple worshippers interviewed by Euronews describe the service as emotional and “truly special,” saying the occasion stands out for its atmosphere and personal significance.

The accounts focus on the reactions of attendees rather than policy or diplomatic developments. Several worshippers say the Pope’s presence offers a rare chance to meet him, particularly for people who cannot travel to see him elsewhere. The coverage emphasizes the spiritual and human impact of the visit in Lourdes, a major Catholic pilgrimage site. Across the reporting, the key shared point is that the Mass is experienced by attendees as memorable and meaningful, with some highlighting accessibility to the Pope for those who otherwise might not be able to attend.
