Pope Leo XIV blesses infant during visit to Lourdes

During a visit to the sanctuary of Lourdes, France, Pope Leo XIV blessed a ten-month-old baby from Navarra, Spain. The infant, Lucía Avello Castiella, was among those brought close to the Popemobile by security personnel during a mass attended by approximately 150,000 people.

The child's family was part of a pilgrimage organized by the parish of San Esteban de Gorráiz, which included over 500 participants traveling from various Navarrese parishes and groups to attend the papal events at the sanctuary.
