Friends of the Rosary,

Today, February 11, we celebrate the Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, with her message of calling to personal conversion, prayer, and charity.

On a day like this 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to fourteen-year-old Marie Bernade Soubirous, St. Bernadette.

Between February 11 and July 16, the Immaculata appeared eighteen times and showed herself to St. Bernadette in the hollow of the rock at Lourdes, in the south of France.

On March 25, she said to her: “I am the Immaculate Conception.”

Since then, Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage, and many cures and conversions have taken place.

On her apparition, the Immaculate Conception was youthful and clothed in a pure white gown and mantle with an azure blue girdle. A golden rose adorned each of her bare feet.

On her first apparition, February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin asked the girl to make the sign of the Cross and say the rosary with her. Bernadette saw her take the rosary hanging from her arms into her hands. This was repeated in subsequent apparitions.

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
