been known under many titles. Vietnam has “Our Lady of Lavang,” Mexico honors “Our Lady of Guadalupe,” Portugal has “Our Lady of Fatima,” Belgium venerates “Our Lady of Banneux,” and France honors “Our Lady of Lourdes.” Through each of her titles, Mary sends a special message for us. In this essay, I will study about “Our Lady of Lourdes” in the following way. First, I will briefly describe the context within which Mary appeared at the Grotto in Lourdes, France. Secondly, I will then present the
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, spoken in the native Basque tongue of Southern France and Northern Spain. She spoke words teaching of the merits of prayer, penance, poverty and church. In the first and most widely recognized Marian apparition of modern times, a personal message was delivered also to Bernadette—She would not find happiness in this world, but only in the next.
Saint Bernadette Soubirous The Soubirous family lived in the far north of the little town of Lourdes, in the Lapaca district. A large stream flowed there, and on this stream there were seven mills; one of them known as the Boly Mill, and this had been the residence of the Soubirous. Francois Soubirous leased the mill from relatives of his wife, Louise. In many ways, it was the trade of the miller that had brought the couple together. They had married on the parish church on 9th January 1843. By
Aspects of Pilgrimage In this piece of coursework, I will discuss what is involved in pilgrimage. After this, I will discuss what goes on in specific places of pilgrimage, such as in Lourdes and Taize, and how they differ from one another. I will also explain the meaning of pilgrimage to answer the question "what is involved in pilgrimage?" and mention who goes on pilgrimages. A pilgrimage is a journey with religious significance and is found in the great religions of the world. It is a
Saint Bernadette Soubirous or Saint Bernadette of Lourdes was born on January 7, 1844, from Occitan, France. She died at the age of thirty-five on April 16, 1879, which eventually became her feast day. Saint Bernadette is considered to be part of the “Incorruptibles.” Incorruptibility is the belief that prevents the normal decomposition of human bodies after death which represents as a sign of a person’s holiness. Her early life began as a frail young child who grew up in a humble family but suffered

AO1 Lourdes is a town in the South of France. It is in the Pyrenees mountains. In 1858, a teenage girl named Marie (who later changed her name to Bernadette) believed she had several visions of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Bernadette's parents were poor farmers, and she was uneducated. During one of the visions, the Lady told Bernadette
he was hallucinating. He however asked Juan to tell the Lady to give him a sign from heaven. On reporting this to the Lady on their next meeting, the Lady promised to show a sign that will convince the Bishop to believe. As Juan returned home to his village his uncle was down with a very terrible ill health and was dying. He went back to the city to invite a priest to come and perform the last rite on the uncle but on the way he met the lady again who told him rather
that Divine Revelation (Apostolic Tradition) had not been completed. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, and Our Lady of Fatima are examples of apparitions after the death of the Apostles. Catholic beliefs in these apparitions and the miracles accompanying them; Our Lady of Guadalupe’s roses blooming in the winter and the image on the cloak of Juan Diego, Our Lady of Lourdes and the conversion of sinners and faith, Our Lady of Fatima and the miracle of the dancing sun do not change the truth
always chose the hardest ones. Saint Bernadette was really an admirable woman. Saint Bernadette was born in Lourdes, France on January 7, 1844. Even at a very young age, saint Bernadette had to suffer extreme asthma. Her illness didn’t seem to make any progress. Therefore, She spent the rest

The three stood stunned, their breaths frozen and their screeches caught in their throat. With an almighty pull, Lourdes clutched her shattered scarlet heart as reality crashed down on their shoulders. No time for sorrows as well as grieving. In one instant, Maggie grabbed the crushed radio; the static and the buzzing vibrating through her hand. Ben prayed for a response
have become central theological cores of the devotion in each faith community. This is also true for Marian devotion in Vietnam. Our Lady of La Vang becomes an impressive phenomenon of faith practice of Vietnamese Catholic communities and individuals around the world. Springing from an oral tradition, Vietnamese Catholics gradually and authentically pay homage to Our Lady of La Vang, and they are making effort to maintain a Vietnamese tradition of Marian devotion, a classic and different ‘version’
holiness and virtue which was exactly who Saint Bernadette de lourdes was. her full name is Marie-Bernadette Soubirous and she was born in Lourdes, France on January 7th, 1879 and lived until the age of 35. Saint Bernadette was the eldest of six children of a rather poor family but despite the harsh living conditions that surrounded Bernadette her faith remained strong for she kept in mind that her sufferings were nothing compared to what our Lord Jesus Christ had to do for us, “Why must we suffer?
Miracles: When Faith Contradicts Reason When the term "miracle" comes to mind, the average person doesn’t quite know what to say. After all, a miracle is something unexplained that is looked upon in awe. Webster’s Universal Dictionary defines a miracle as: . "an extraordinary event attributed to the supernatural; an unusual or astounding event." 1 In today’s society, though, everyone has their own definition of astounding. Perhaps some people contribute certain events to the supernatural
The first time the beautiful lady spoke was on February 18. She told Bernadette, “I do not promise you happiness in this world but in the other.” She then made a request to Bernadette, “Would you be kind enough to come here for a fortnight?” Bernadette accepted to visit the apparition site for a fortnight. Truly, Bernadette went through a lot of suffering particularly in the hands of the government authorities who sometimes sent the local police to either arrest Bernadette or disperse the people

An example of this was with Bernadette when she saw Our Lady at Lourdes in 1858 and was told to dig nearby and she would find a stream, now it is a mystery whether it is true or not but the visions was declared Authentic by the pope. All prayers are heard but may not all be answered in the way we would like,
