Live: Pope Leo XIV prays for France at Lourdes pilgrimage site

Pope Leo XIV on Saturday prayed that France receive “the gift of fraternal harmony” at the Grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, a renowned pilgrimage site where Catholic tradition holds that the Virgin Mary appeared in 1858 to a peasant girl. The pontiff earlier said an open-air Mass in central Paris that drew an estimated 800,000 people. Follow our liveblog for all the latest on the pope's four-day visit to France.
