On 7th September, the sudden flooding of the Gave de Pau affected the Sanctuary of Lourdes, generating images that were seen around the world. Father Michel Daubanes, rector of the Sanctuary, looks back on a day marked by both devastation and a remarkable outpouring of solidarity.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A difficult and very emotional day<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cIt was both a difficult and a very special day,\u201d<\/strong> confides Father Daubanes. He describes the sadness of seeing the famous Grotto<\/strong><\/a>, a world-famous place of prayer, flooded up to halfway up the altar, covered in mud and dirt. Worried calls poured in from all over the world, testifying to the importance of this place for so many people.
However, over and above this crisis, he emphasises the emotion generated by the rapid and generous mobilisation of the Sanctuary’s staff. As soon as the alert was deemed serious, in the middle of the night, security teams and management put in place measures to protect the sacristies and secure the entire site. Many employees, even those who were not on duty, came to lend a hand, alongside the volunteers who set about cleaning and restoring the site.
\u201cIt was also a very special day thanks to all this solidarity,\u201d<\/strong> emphasised Father Daubanes. Because of everyone\u2019s efforts, the Grotto was quickly able to reopen and welcome pilgrims. The 6pm rosary<\/strong> <\/a>in Italian was even broadcast live from the Grotto, and the liturgical programme was successfully completed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pope Francis<\/strong>, who is visiting Papua, has sent a message of support, a gesture deeply appreciated by Father Daubanes. \u201cI didn’t see the Pope’s message straight away because I wanted to preside at Mass<\/strong> <\/a>at 10am at the Grotto, but I passed on his words of support to all the \u201cchapelains.\u201d The message was particularly moving as it was read during the handover of the \u201cchapelains\u201d’ crosses to the Grotto’s new guardians, underlining the importance of the universal Church’s spiritual support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The protection system put in place after the 2013 floods has proved effective on the whole, although it was unable to prevent the flooding entirely.<\/strong>
The most worrying issue remains the state of the Sanctuary’s various bridges, which were already weakened by the floods of 2012, 2013 and 2018. In the coming weeks, underwater surveys will be carried out to assess their condition in more detail.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the light of these events, Father Daubanes insists on the importance of remaining vigilant, while keeping hope alive. \u201cThe Sanctuary must move forward with joy and vigilance.
