* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As you read this I will be in Lourdes. Every year the Order of Malta holds its International Pilgrimage to Lourdes, centering on the first Sunday in May. As a Magistral Chaplain of the Order I try to participate and have done so for the last ten years. The Order of Malta or the Hospitaler Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Rhodes and Malta is a sovereign entity, chartered by the Pope in the year 1113. The purpose of the Order was to assist pilgrims to the Holy Land with both defense and medical help, as well as to assist the impoverished. The Order is, in effect, the first and oldest International Organization. The annual pilgrimage to Lourdes is a time when Associations of the Order from throughout the world come together bringing sick people or “malades” from all over the world to experience the healing effects of Lourdes. The Association to which I belong, the Federal Association of the Order of Malta charters a flight which leaves from Baltimore flying directly to Tarbes, about 30 minutes outside of Lourdes. Our group will include members of the Order (Knights and Dames) as well as volunteers and of course the malades and their companions. There are two other associations from the United States, the American and the Western Associations. The three associations from the US ensure that the largest single national presence is American. But even so, on the Sunday International Mass when all the national associations of the Order are there with their malades, we may have as many as 25,000 people at the Mass! The malades are the reason for and the center of attention of the Pilgrimage. All their needs are attended to, they are transported to all the events in rickshaw like carts and have 3-5 members of the Order looking out for them at any one time. The Order of Malta is primarily hospitaler in nature and this is never more evident than during its annual Lourdes Pilgrimage. Although this is very much a working week for me, it is nevertheless one of the most fulfilling weeks of my year.
