On Saturday, September 26, thousands of Catholics gathered in Paris for a mass celebrated by Pope Leo XIV. The event took place at 3 p.m. and attracted participants from across France and beyond. Among the attendees was Florence, a 60-year-old Catholic from Osny in the Val-d'Oise department, who traveled with her parish. Florence, known for her dynamic appearance and long hair, was among the first to arrive, joining the queue at sector B north, one of the entrances set up for participants. Florence sang a song of evangelical origin that is currently popular, expressing her devotion with the lyrics, "Lord Jesus, how not to praise you, eh-eh-eeh-eh-eh, how not to praise you." The song reflects a growing trend among some Christian communities to use contemporary music in worship, blending traditional themes with modern melodies. Many attendees, like Florence, emphasized the importance of the event as a "wonderful moment of communion." For many Catholics, such gatherings provide an opportunity to strengthen their faith and connect with others who share similar beliefs. The mass was seen as a significant spiritual event, drawing people from different backgrounds and regions to participate in a shared experience of worship. The Pope's visit to Paris was part of a broader outreach effort to engage with Catholic communities across Europe. Events like this mass are often used to reinforce the Church's presence and to encourage active participation in religious life. Attendees expressed appreciation for the opportunity to be part of such a large and meaningful gathering, highlighting the sense of unity and spiritual renewal that such events can bring.
