It began in 1858 in a small town in France called Lourdes, where a 14-year-old girl named Bernadette Soubirous saw a vision. One day, while collecting firewood near a cave, she saw a beautiful lady dressed in white with a blue sash and a veil. The lady was standing in a niche in the rock and was surrounded by light. Bernadette was frightened at first but returned to see the lady many times. The lady asked Bernadette to pray, do penance, and even dig in the dirt, where a spring of water began to flow. \u003cbr\u003e This lady was Mary, the mother of Jesus, and she appeared to Bernadette 18 times in total. During these visits, Mary asked for a chapel to be built on the site and encouraged people to pray and seek healing. The spring that appeared has been known for its healing powers, and thousands of people come each year to Lourdes to bathe in or drink the water. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Today, Lourdes is a major pilgrimage site, and many people who visit the spring report feeling spiritually renewed or physically healed. Bernadette's visions were investigated by the Church and declared authentic, which helped many people grow in their faith. This story reminds us of God's love and the power of prayer, showing that even ordinary people like Bernadette can do great things with faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Specific topics covered in this title include: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette's Home \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette Sees a Lady in the Grotto \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette Tells the Lady's Name \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Crowds of People Go to the Grotto \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette at School \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette Enters the Convent \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette Becomes Ill \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Death of Bernadette \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Incorrupt Body of Bernadette \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bernadette is Declared a Saint \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Lourdes Today \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Prayer of the Church \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We invite you to view other titles in this series here: https: \/\/catholicbookpublishing.com\/browse\/st-joseph-picture-books. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.2 x 7.2 x 5.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 1985\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45922899460293,"sku":"9780899423913","price":11.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/W4LM9K3ZAA9780899423913.webp?v=1781424220","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/our-lady-of-lourdes-and-marie-bernadette-soubirous-1844-1879-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
