Why Lourdes?

Before 1858, Lourdes was a small town at the foot of the Pyrenees in southern France.

Today, millions of pilgrims journey there from around the world.

Why? They bring illnesses, worries, gratitude, grief, questions, and hope. Some pray for physical healing. Others seek peace, reconciliation, or a renewed relationship with God.

At its heart, Lourdes is an invitation to encounter Jesus Christ through prayer, the sacraments, and the loving intercession of His Mother. More than 165 years after Bernadette first knelt at the Grotto, Lourdes continues to change hearts.

If you could carry one prayer intention to Lourdes today, what would it be?

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.

BERNADETTE'S LIFE AFTER LOURDES

What happened to Bernadette after the apparitions?

She could have remained in Lourdes surrounded by pilgrims who wanted to see the young woman who had encountered the Blessed Virgin Mary. Instead, Bernadette chose a hidden life.

In 1866, at age 22, she entered the Mother House of the Sisters of Charity of Nevers at Saint-Gildard. There, far from the crowds at Lourdes, she embraced a life of prayer, humility and service.

Bernadette never tried to build an identity around the extraordinary privilege she had received. She treasured what had happened at the Grotto, but she allowed Our Lady’s message to shape the way she lived. She cared for the sick, assisted in the infirmary and later served as a sacristan. Despite her own fragile health, she tried to live each day with simplicity and love.

She spent thirteen years at Saint-Gildard before her death in 1879 at only 35 years old. One of her resolutions beautifully captures the spirit she carried with her from Lourdes:
“I want my whole life to be inspired by love.”

Bernadette encountered Our Lady at the Grotto, but the real fruit of those encounters was revealed in the quiet holiness of the life she lived afterward. As we prepare to welcome her relics, may we ask Our Lady of Lourdes to help us carry the grace of Lourdes into our own ordinary lives.

Our Lady of Lourdes, form our hearts in prayer and love.

St. Bernadette, pray for us.
