“Here, on this land of France, I entrust, O Mother of God, to your maternal love the sons and daughters of this people. They have not ceased to honor you, in their traditions, in the art of their cathedrals, in their pilgrimages, in popular piety as in the devotion of spiritual authors, sure to remain close to Christ by contemplating you, in listening to you, praying to you. Many wanted to devote themselves to you, including kings, as Louis XIII did on behalf of his people.
O Mary, obtain for these brothers and sisters of France the gifts of the Holy Spirit, in order to give a new youth, the youth of the faith, to these Christians and to their communities, whom I entrust to your Immaculate Heart, to your maternal love. "
John Paul II (1920-2005), Lourdes, August 14, 1983.
