Beginning on February 11th, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of a large rock outside the town of Lourdes, France. All in all there were 18 distinct apparitions, the last one occurring on July 16th of that same year.
In the News: "60 Minutes" recently featured a report on the miracles at Lourdes, viewable here.
“May the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar be praised, adored, and loved, with grateful affection, on all the altars, and in all the tabernacles of the world, now and even to the end of Time. Amen”
"It would be easier for the earth to carry on without the sun than without the Holy Mass"
- Padre Pio
Happy is the soul that knows how to find Jesus in the eucharist, and in the eucharist all things.
-St. Pierre Julien Eymard (+1868)
“Gratitude is the thing that brings us the most grace…I have learnt this from experience; try it and you will see. I am content with whatever God gives me, and I show Him this in a thousand little ways.”
- St. Therese of Lisieux (+1897)
"Prayer is an all-efficient panoply, a treasure undimished, a mine which is never exhausted, a sky unobscured by clouds, a heaven unruffled by the storm. It is the root, the foundation, the mother of a thousand blessings."
-Saint John Chrysostom (349-407)
