This is something I have always been more than happy to do as it was an experience that profoundly changed my life.

Lourdes is not only a place that can strengthen and deepen the faith of the sick and elderly who go there, but impact the life of young Catholics in immeasurable ways. When I first signed up for Lourdes in 2008 I was 20 years old and just as nerv- ous as I was excited about making the pil- grimage there.

The lockdown Bishops visiting East Jerusalem prevented me from going there in January with the Holy I Land Coordination pilgrimage. This is a pilgrimage like no other. When the dozen or more bishops of the Coordination have their annual trip to the Holy Land it is not your usual pilgrimage. We are not there to visit the sites or the sacred shrines, we are not there to trace the footsteps of Jesus, we are not there to see ancient churches, we are there to see people. It is the Christian people and not the holy places that we go to visit. And that means we go to places the normal pilgrim would never visit, such as Gaza. It takes a bit of determination to get What is uplifting though is that we meet so many good to Gaza. There are a lot people.

Pope Francis will be present to canonise two of the shepherd children who were privileged to see Our Lady and to receive her messages. The famous apparitions of the Virgin Mary took place during the First World War, in the summer of 1917. The inhabitants of this tiny village in the diocese of Leiria (Portugal) were mostly poor people, many of them small farmers who went out by day to tend their fields and animals. Children traditionally were assigned the task of herding the sheep. The three children who received the apparitions had been brought up in an atmosphere of genuine piety: Lucia dos Santos (ten years old) and her two younger cousins, Francisco and Jacinta. Together they tended the sheep and, with Lucy in charge, would often pray the Rosary kneeling in the open. In the summer of 1916 an Angel appeared to them several times and taught them a prayer to the Blessed Trinity. Exactly one hundred years ago, on Sunday, May 13, 1917, toward noon, a flash of lightning drew the attention of the children, and they saw a brilliant figure appearing over the trees of the Cova da Iria. The Lady asked them to pray for the conversion of sinners and an end to the war, and to come back every month, on the 13th.
