The musical tells the true story of the beloved French 14-year-old girl who had 18 visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes.
100 years after beatification, St. Bernadette’s story sings on the silver screen.
Bernadette could have easily recanted her story of the beautiful woman at the grotto and led a peaceful life. She was, however, incapable of denying the truth. What child is that strong?
Marlene Watkins, author of ‘Everyday Miracles of Lourdes’ (EWTN Publishing), recounts the life of St. Bernadette Soubirous, whose sanctity lay not in grand gestures but in prayer, suffering and fidelity.
COMMENTARY: After the Blessed Mother appeared to her in 1858, the French peasant girl sought simple religious life 400 miles away from Lourdes and the spotlight.
At the end of the musical, members of the Missionaries of Charity order founded by St. Teresa of Calcutta offered each guest a bag of food.
Musical will screen at the upcoming National Eucharistic Congress.
‘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.
