The police are also present with the aim of facilitating access to the shrine, ensuring the safety of all pilgrims and the sick present, and to ensure health security, according to the Korazym website.

At his arrival at the airport of Lourdes the Pope was received by the French Minister of Interior, Michelle Alliot-Marie, while on Monday, before his return to Rome, Benedict XVI will be greeted by Prime Minister François Fillon.
