Day 14 - Return to the USA
Bernadette Soubirous is the saint of Lourdes, France. Visionary and messenger of the Immaculate Conception, she told us the very words of the Virgin Mary is spoken in the native Basque tongue of Southern France and Northern Spain. She said
words teaching the merits of prayer, penance, poverty, and church. In The first and most widely recognized Marian apparition of modern times, a personal message was also delivered to Bernadette: -She would not find happiness in this world, but only in the next. She was to die twenty-one years later, in 1879, after a prolonged and painful illness. She remained hidden in a convent about 300 miles from home, a refuge from the interrogations and the pilgrims that never ceased seeking her. At thirty-five, her strong-willed manner gave way to her frail body, and she finally entered her eternal happiness. To this day, Bernadette’s incorruptible body is a profound source of inspiration and mystery surrounding the lord’s ways. The face of Bernadette is one of the surreal beauties and will remain for us always the face that gazed into the eyes of the Mother of God.
