‘Universal story’ will arrive in the U.S. this summer, coinciding with the Eucharistic Congress: ‘Everything started with this little 13-year-old girl, who was sick, uneducated, poor and had no prospects and who was, nevertheless, chosen. This is the story that we wanted to tell.’
Not everyone leaves Lourdes cured — but nobody leaves empty-handed.
This 1943 classic offers a true gift: a look into the life of a great saint.
This new film premiering Feb. 11 on EWTN treats us to a pilgrimage to Lourdes with its message, its inner workings and a fascinating surprise or two.
‘The Message of Lourdes’ premieres on the global television network.
‘For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.’ ― Franz Werfel, ‘The Song of Bernadette’
‘There were two important periods in Bernadette’s life,’ says André Doze. ‘The phase of Lourdes, which was mostly under the sign of Mary, and the phase of Nevers, under the sign of Joseph.’
Holy remains will be venerated at more than 30 churches and shrines, including EWTN, through August.
Despite being vaccinated and taking other precautions, 46 out of 294 people on a Lourdes pilgrimage contracted COVID, but no one was hospitalized for the virus, or had regrets, and organizers are weighing the lessons learned.
The feast of Our Lady of Lourdes is Feb. 11.
