Our Lady of Lourdes
In 1858 the Blessed Mother Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous.  
The girl was directed to dig into the ground at which time water
poured forth.  A spring was created.  Many people who have bathed
in this water have been cured of many very serious illnesses.
The grounds of the sacred site.  
As we approached the singing
overwelmed us as they sang the
song Immaculate Mary.
There are many miraculous
cures at Lourdes.  These are
people hoping for a cure.
Even though it was February
these flowers bloomed at the
foot of the stature of Our Lady
of Lourdes.

We entered at 2:15 on a Sunday
looking for a Mass.  Mass
started 5 minutes after we
entered the church.

appeared to St. Bernadette.

Bernadette dug at the
direction of Mary.
We were amazed at
the flowers.
