+I would like to mention my visit to Lourdes as a pilgrim.  There, in front of
+the cave, I experienced something very special.  I felt a spiritual vibration,
+a kind of spiritual presence there.  And then, in front of the image of the
+Virgin Mary, I prayed.  I expressed my admiration for this holy place that has
+long been a source of inspiration and strength, that has provided spiritual
+solace, comfort and healing to millions of people.  And I prayed that this may
+continue for a long time to come.  My prayer there was not directed to any
+clearly defined object, like Buddha or Jesus Christ or a bodhisattva, but was
+simply directed to all great beings who have infinite compassion towards all
+sentient beings.
