“Pope John Paul II arrives in France to celebrate the Assumption at Lourdes,” Agence France-Presse, August 15, 2004
Pope John Paul II arrived at the Catholic shrine of Lourdes in southwest France today to celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with more than 300,000 pilgrims from around the world. The site is renowned for its history of apparitions of the Virgin Mary and attracts thousands of Catholics and sick people seeking healing every year. History repeated itself today as Mr Chirac welcomed the Pope, in accordance with the traditions of the French Republic. Pope John Paul gave Mr Chirac a copy of The Acts of the Apostles. The trip was John Paul’s eighth to France, but it is not an official state visit. The Vatican had called the pontiff’s visit “purely of a spiritual nature.” The Pope, who has Parkinson’s disease, said he wanted to make the pilgrimage “as an ordinary sick pilgrim.”

“Pope calls for world peace in Christmas mass”, The Guardian, December 25, 2004
Pope John Paul II has called for world peace in his annual Christmas mass, delivered at St Peter’s basilica, Vatican City. The service, celebrated before thousands of worshippers, was his only public appearance of the day. In addition to his traditional prayers for Roman Catholics, he asked all Christians, Muslims and Jews to live in peace, at a time when many parts of the world are still torn apart by conflict. In his message, the Pope prayed for everyone to “l(fā)ive together in harmony and to accompany one another on the journey towards full communion”, but did not comment specifically on any one conflict or global problem. Sitting on a white throne, he called on all people to follow the gospel, and prayed for “true peace” to prevail throughout the world. At St Peter’s Square, which was packed with thousands of worshippers, a 32-metre tree was the highlight of the festive decorations. Large numbers queued for hours to pass through tight security checks before entering St Peter’s to attend the Christmas mass. Italian police surrounded the square in a high-security operation to prevent possible attacks. In a recently published memoir, John Paul revealed previously undisclosed aspects of his life, including his impressions on his appointment as archbishop of Kraków in 1958.
