Remembering Lourdes

Wishing you a blessed feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.

Enjoy the trailer of Navis Pictures’ St. Bernadette of Lourdes, which we highlighted in an article last spring.

My old favorite is always The Song of Bernadette. The poster art was done by Norman Rockwell. Some clips are featured in this Rome Reports video about the Lourdes apparitions.

Our Lady, pray for us.

And as St. Bernadette said, “Oh my Mother, to you I sacrifice all other attachments so that my heart may belong entirely to you and to my Jesus.”

Which Way Is Heaven?

J.R.R. Tolkien’s mystic west was inspired by the legendary voyage of St. Brendan, who sailed on a quest for a Paradise in the midst and mists of the ocean.
