Tomorrow, before returning to Rome, he will preside over a final Mass in the port of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

Sergi, a young Catalan man, was surprised by an encounter with Pope Leo XIV in Spain on June 10 he will never forget. During the pope’s visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, an abbey northwest of Barcelona, Sergi handed Leo his rosary. The pontiff slipped it into his pocket before using it minutes later to pray. Unexpectedly, the story did not end there — after the event, Sergi managed to recover his prized sacramental, now prayed with by the pope. Sergi said he had not planned to go to the shrine on the day of the papal visit. He is from Terrassa, a city between Barcelona and Montserrat. The invitation to go to the popeʼs prayer came unexpectedly through a volunteer with the Missionaries of Charity, connected to his youth group, who encouraged both him and his girlfriend, María, to join the gathering. The night before, they attended the pope’s event at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona and returned so tired that they almost decided not to go again. However, they felt they could not miss the chance to see Pope Leo during his visit to their homeland, and in order to attend they both had to take the day off from work. They never imagined what would happen or the gift they would receive. “I just wanted him to bless it, that’s all, but he asked me, ‘Is it for me?’ And I’m not going to say no, so of course I said yes, and he kept it,” the young man said. Indeed, in a video recorded by EWTN News, the pope can be seen taking the rosary and putting it in his pocket. A few minutes later, to the young couple’s total surprise, they saw the pope praying with Sergi’s rosary in his hands.

While most people are familiar with the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, few know of the Sacred Heart badge. Yet the badge begins with St. Margaret Mary Alacoque’s visions of the Sacred Heart in France, then appears in a Marian apparition, and obtains papal approval. Speaking of Jesus revealing his Sacred Heart, on July 2, 1674, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque said, “He promised to pour out into the hearts of all those who honor the image of His Heart all the gifts it contains in fullness, and for all those who would wear this image on their persons He promised to imprint His love on their hearts and to destroy all unruly inclinations.” She and her novices made many badges with the Sacred Heart image and wore them. It was worn under the bishop’s direction and credited with stopping the great plague in Marseilles in 1720. Read the full story at ncregister.com/features/sacr…
