On a bus heading to Lourdes, philosopher Robert Redeker contemplates why he finds himself among the faithful who rise early to meet the Pope. His answer is simple: an irresistible attraction. Standing before the Massabielle grotto, he describes breathing in the light, a light he felt emanating from the words of Pope Léon XIV, whom he refers to as the Logos — the Word. He explains that he had not chosen this light; rather, he allowed himself to be drawn into it, like being carried by a force he could not resist. Redeker reflects on the journey to Lourdes, a pilgrimage he describes as worth eternity. This day, he says, is a fragment of eternity — a day of spiritual exploration before returning to the ordinary rhythm of daily life. He notes the significance of the name Notre-Dame d'Autan, which unites the Virgin and the wind, symbolizing breath and the Spirit. He mentions the wind of Autan, which stirred the passengers awake early, messing with their hair, documents, and lists, as if pushing them toward Bernardette, who awaited them in the thousands to celebrate Léon XIV. Redeker suggests that celebrating Léon XIV is not just about the man, but about those who speak through him — Mary, Jesus, and God. He refers to the Logos, the Word, and states that it was necessary to go to Lourdes, to let the wind guide them toward the Word. The wind, he says, was not a command but an invitation, one that could not be refused. He compares the decision to go on this pilgrimage to the creative impulse of an artist, a compulsion that cannot be ignored. He describes the experience of being in the bus, moving through the night, and asking himself — and perhaps others — why he had signed up for this journey. He insists it was not driven by curiosity or will, but by an attraction, like a magnet or a philter. He notes that the decision was not one made by logic or choice, but by the soul. He states that the word "aspiration" is closely tied to breathing, inspiration, and the Spirit — the wind. He believes the wind came to free them, taking them from the mediocrity of daily life and the confines of the self. In Lourdes, he says, they were taken by the Logos, the Word, and the Spirit of God, allowing them to breathe in the light.
