– 9:00 a.m.: Rosary at the Basilica of St. Pius X
– 9:30 a.m.: Solemn Mass at the Basilica of St. Pius X
– 11:00 a.m.: Rosary at the Grotto
This last exercise was marked by a rain that fell in a deluge as soon as the pilgrims left the underground Basilica. The rain never stopped pouring onto the pilgrims, who were seriously drenched. Undoubtedly, this rain was a sign of the abundant graces granted to the courageous souls who went to the Grotto to pray to the Virgin Mary.
The pilgrimage of Tradition to Lourdes took place around the feast of Christ the King, according to its custom which was disrupted last year. The third day, Monday October 30, was marked by the Rosary and a Solemn Mass.
