Pope Leo XIV blessed an 11-year-old girl named Marie-Garance on the Champs-Élysées last Saturday, and the photo of that moment has now traveled around the world.

The first American pope was riding the popemobile down the famous avenue, about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) from the Arc de Triomphe to Place de la Concorde, where he celebrated an open-air Mass. The Vatican estimated the crowd at 800,000 people. Marie-Garance, who lives with severe multiple disabilities, was waiting with her mother and her little sister Pépa in an area reserved for wheelchair users.

The meeting was never planned. People around them began saying the pope had to see these two little girls. Marie-Garance was passed from hand to hand through the crowd, and a Vatican gendarme lifted her up to him. The pope traced a small cross on her forehead with his finger. Pépa was blessed too.

Her story makes the image even more powerful. Marie-Garance was once a ward of the French state. Her birth parents could not manage the heavy medical care she needed. In 2016, when she was 16 months old, she was welcomed by Clotilde and Nicolas Noël, parents of ten children. Four of them were adopted, and all four live with disabilities.

Speaking on French TV, her mother said she felt a shiver run through the crowd, like a moment suspended in time. She also said people around them were happy and thanked the family afterward.
