Bernadette Soubirous is the saint of Lourdes, France. ... In the first and most widely recognized Marian apparition of modern times, a personal message was delivered also to Bernadette¡ªShe would not find happiness in this world, but only in the next. ... To this day, the body of Bernadette is a profound source of inspiration and of mystery surrounding the ways of the Lord. The face of Bernadette is one of surreal beauty, and will remain for us always the face that gazed into the eyes of the Mother of God.
Bernadette Soubirous, she is a saint of Lourdes, France. ... On February 11, 1858, while on an outing to gather firewood, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette. ... She smiled at Bernadette and made the sign of the cross with a rosary of ivory and gold. Falling on her knees, Bernadette took out her own rosary and began to pray.
The Blessed Lady appeared to Bernadette seventeen more times. She told Bernadette that she should pray for sinners, do penance, and have a chapel built on that spot in her honour. Many people did not believe Bernadette when she told them of her vision, and she suffered terribly because of this.
