Friends of the Rosary,

Four years after the promulgation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX (1854), the Blessed Virgin appeared eighteen times to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in Lourdes, France.

On the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, the Most Holy Virgin announced her name, “I am the Immaculate Conception.”

Soon, a Shrine was erected, and since that time, countless pilgrims visit every year Lourdes, one of the most important “places of grace” in Christendom.

In Lourdes, pilgrims open their hearts to the presence of the Mother and are captivated by the mystery of the Son.

The Marian apparitions have encouraged countless souls to follow a path of conversion and personal sanctification.

Pope Benedict XVI said, “The message which Our Lady still offers at Lourdes recalls the words Jesus said at the beginning of his public mission and that we hear so often in Lent: ‘Convert and believe in the Gospel, pray and do penance.”

Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!

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