On his recent pilgrimage in Lourdes, Pope Leo quoted the late Pope Benedict when he said “We are therefore called always to persevere on our journey, with Mary going before us, for as many days as are granted to us in this life.  We hasten with confidence towards her, whose Immaculate Conception shines like a beacon in the night.  “She is thus the sign of the victory of love, of good and of God, giving our world the hope that it needs.  This evening, let us turn our gaze towards Mary, so glorious and so human, allowing her to lead us towards God who is the victor””
