Procession presided over by the Archbishop, from the Eglise Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois to the forecourt of Notre-Dame Cathedral to mark the return of the real statue.
With Mary, the Immaculate One,
who welcomed all graces,
we prepare throughout this year
to once again inhabit our cathedral,
home of our diocese,
the destination for many pilgrims.
With the people of Paris who,
for 860 years, have entrusted their joys and sorrows
to Her who bore the Savior,
let us prepare our hearts so that Our Lady
may always be, in our city,
the One with whom we can dwell:
“I have nothing to offer and nothing to ask.
I come simply, Mother, to look at you.
To look at you, to cry tears of joy, to know that
I am your son and that you are there.” (Paul Claudel)
Prayer to Notre-Dame de Paris
Mgr Laurent Ulrich, Archbishop of Paris, December 8, 2023
