Our Lady of Lourdes

"I do not promise to make you happy in this life but in the next."
- Our Lady of Lourdes to St. Bernadette

Today is the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Our Lady appeared to St. Bernadette first on February 11, 1858, in a grotto outside the town of Lourdes, France. She appeared to Bernadette several times after this. In 1862, Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the visions. In 1907, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes became universal. 

Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
