Debunking the Lourdes Miracles and Other Articles By Joseph McCabe Read by Oberon Michaels Lourdes is a town in south-western France which in 1858 became the site of one of the most famous Marian apparitions. The recipient of the vision, Bernadette Soubirous, was directed to start digging in a cave, and a spring was uncovered. The waters of the spring gained the reputation of possessing healing properties, and subsequently Lourdes has become one of the most popular Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. In the opening essay of this collection, celebrated skeptic and scholar Joseph McCabe turns his acerbic investigative eye on these events and challenges the validity of many of the healings. This collection also includes three other short essays on other religio-political issues and an article about McCabe by J.V. Nash.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8503LOURDES E FATIMA CONTRO IL CATTOLICESIMO ANNACQUATOLa Madonna non è apparsa per distribuire consolazioni facili, ma per chiedere penitenza, preghiera e conversione ai peccatoridi Roberto de Mattei Il nome di Lourdes, assieme a quello di Fatima, evoca una delle più grandi apparizioni mariane della storia. In questo comune francese, ai piedi dei Pirenei, tra l'11 febbraio e il 16 luglio 1858, nella grotta di Massabielle, la Madonna apparve diciotto volte a una contadina di quattordici anni, Bernadette Soubirous. Il carattere miracoloso dell'evento fu riconosciuto da Pio IX e da tutti i Papi suoi successori, alcuni dei quali visitarono Lourdes. Bernadette fu canonizzata dalla Chiesa e sul luogo delle apparizioni furono costruite tre basiliche, che formano un unico santuario, il terzo al mondo per il numero dei pellegrini, dopo la basilica di San Pietro e quella di Guadalupe.Il nome di Lourdes è legato innanzitutto all'Immacolata Concezione, perché la Beata Vergine Maria vi confermò il dogma che Pio IX aveva solennemente definito, quattro anni prima, l'8 dicembre 1854. Il 25 marzo 1858, Bernadette così si rivolse alla misteriosa signora che ormai da tempo le appariva: "Signora, volete avere la bontà di dirmi chi siete?". Per tre volte Bernadette rinnovò la domanda finché, come ella stessa racconta, la Madonna allargò le braccia verso terra, alzò gli occhi verso il cielo e nel medesimo tempo, elevando le mani e congiungendole all'altezza del petto, disse: "Io sono l'Immacolata Concezione". "Sembra - commenterà un secolo dopo Pio XII - che la stessa Beata Vergine Maria abbia voluto, in maniera prodigiosa, quasi confermare, tra il plauso di tutta la Chiesa, la sentenza pronunziata dal Vicario del suo divin Figlio in terra" (Enciclica Fulgens Corona dell'8 settembre 1953).Le parole di Lourdes: "Io sono l'Immacolata Concezione". confermano anche la preghiera che la stessa Beata Vergine volle incisa sulla Medaglia Miracolosa, rivelata a santa Caterina Labouré a Rue du Bac, il 27 novembre 1830 e che, da allora è stata ripetuta milioni di volte da generazioni di cattolici: "O Maria concepita senza peccato, pregate per noi che ricorriamo a voi". Gli uomini sono concepiti nel peccato e, per salvarsi, devono ricorrere all'intercessione della Beata Vergine Maria, piena di grazia e priva di ogni ombra di peccato.PENTITEVIMa accanto a queste parole "Io sono l'Immacolata Concezione", vi è un'altra parola che viene pronunciata con forza dalla Madonna a Lourdes durante l'apparizione a santa Bernadetta del 24 febbraio 1858. Pio XII così lo ricorda: "La Vergine immacolata, mai sfiorata dal peccato, si manifesta a una fanciulla innocente, in una società, che non ha affatto coscienza dei mali che la divorano, che copre le sue miserie e le sue ingiustizie con apparenze di prosperità, di splendore e di spensieratezza. In materna comprensione, ella volge uno sguardo su questo mondo riscattato dal sangue del Figlio suo, dove, purtroppo, il peccato ogni giorno accumula tante stragi, ed ella, per tre volte, lancia il suo vibrante richiamo: «Penitenza, penitenza, penitenza!». Chiede inoltre atti significativi: «Andate a baciare la terra in penitenza per i peccatori». E agli atti occorre aggiungere la preghiera: Pregherete Dio per i peccatori». Come al tempo di Giovanni Battista, come all'inizio del ministero di Gesù, lo stesso invito, forte e perentorio, indica agli uomini la via del ritorno a Dio: «Pentitevi» (Mt 3, 2; 4,17). Chi oserebbe dire che questo appello alla conversione del cuore abbia perduto nei giorni nostri qualche cosa della sua efficacia?". (Enciclica Le pélérinage de del 2 luglio 1957, nel centenario delle apparizioni)La penitenza, come spiega Pio XII, è innanzitutto un appello alla conversione del cuore, un pentimento profondo, una riconciliazione dell'uomo con Dio. E' solo in questa prospettiva che possiamo comprendere il significato dei miracoli che caratterizzano Lourdes, fino dalle sue origini, rendendola un punto di riferimento mondiale per i malati e i sofferenti. Per evitare ogni forma di sensazionalismo, la Chiesa volle fin dall'inizio un rigoroso discernimento di queste guarigioni. Nel 1905, san Pio X istituì ufficialmente il Bureau des constatations médicales, l'Ufficio delle constatazioni mediche del santuario, dov, medici di diversa formazione e convinzione religiosa esaminano con criteri scientifici le guarigioni dichiarate.CHI RIFIUTA IL PENTIMENTO E LA PENITENZASecondo Alessandro De Franciscis, presidente del Bureau dal 2009, negli archivi del santuario sono conservate le documentazioni di circa 7.500 guarigioni considerate inspiegabili dal punto di vista medico. Di queste, solo 72 sono state riconosciute ufficialmente dalla Chiesa come miracoli, a conferma di un discernimento estremamente prudente. Il 16 aprile 2025, il santuario ha accolto la proclamazione dell'ultimo miracolo ufficiale di Lourdes: la guarigione, avvenuta nel 2009, di Antonia Raco, affetta da Sclerosi Laterale Primaria.Tuttavia, ridurre Lourdes a un semplice "luogo di miracoli" sarebbe fuorviante: le guarigioni fisiche, pur straordinarie, sono inserite in un orizzonte più ampio, dove il vero centro è la conversione del cuore. Quando Gesù dice al paralitico: "Ti sono rimessi i tuoi peccati" (Mc 2,5), e poi lo guarisce nel corpo, manifesta che la guarigione fisica è segno di un'autorità più alta. "Cristo - spiega san Tommaso d'Aquino - compì miracoli corporali per mostrare che aveva il potere di compiere miracoli spirituali, che sono più grandi" (Summa Theologiae, III, q. 44, a. 2). Chi è in grado di guarire i corpi, può guarire l'anima, restituendo alla vita ciò che sembra inesorabilmente destinato alla morte. Per essere guariti dobbiamo però accogliere le grazie di pentimento e di conversione che Gesù ci offre.L'appello alla penitenza e alla conversione di Lourdes non è diverso da quello di Fatima, dove, secondo il "Terzo Segreto", i tre pastorelli videro "al lato sinistro di Nostra Signora un poco più in alto un Angelo con una spada di fuoco nella mano sinistra; scintillando emetteva fiamme che sembrava dovessero incendiare il mondo; ma si spegnevano al contatto dello splendore che Nostra Signora emanava dalla sua mano destra verso di lui: l'Angelo indicando la terra con la mano destra, con voce forte disse: Penitenza, Penitenza, Penitenza!". Tre volte, come a Lourdes sono ripetute queste parole, non dalla Madonna però, ma da un Angelo che impugna una spada di fuoco.Chi rifiuta il pentimento e la penitenza, attira su di sé non la misericordia, ma la giustizia di Dio. A rue du Bac, a Lourdes, a Fatima, il messaggio del Cielo non cambia: è una pressante richiesta agli uomini affinché ritornino a Dio, prima di provare le terribili conseguenze dell'allontanamento da Lui. Quando e come avverrà la risposta della terra alle richieste misericordiose del Cielo?

Celebrated annually on April 16 as a solemn feast day, the anniversary of Bernadette Soubirous' death in 1879. The Immaculate Conception’s observance began with a Papal encyclical by Pope Pius IX, when he formally defined the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854. The Immaculate Conception is the dogma that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This doctrine states that Mary was preserved from the "stain of sin" from the first moment of her conception through a unique grace from God, granted in anticipation of her role as the mother of Jesus. The annual Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes was established in 1890 for February 11 by Pope Leo XIII. Ee263.

Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Second Week of Easter Lectionary: 270 The Saint of the day is Saint Bernadette Soubirous Saint Bernadette Soubirous' Story Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844, the first child of an extremely poor miller in the town of Lourdes in southern France. The family was living in the basement of a dilapidated building when on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette in a cave above the banks of the Gave River near Lourdes. Bernadette, 14 years old, was known as a virtuous girl though a dull student who had not even made her first Holy Communion. In poor health, she had suffered from asthma from an early age. There were 18 appearances in all, the final one occurring on the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16. Although Bernadette's initial reports provoked skepticism, her daily visions of “the Lady” brought great crowds of the curious. The Lady, Bernadette explained, had instructed her to have a chapel built on the spot of the visions. There, the people were to come to wash in and drink of the water of the spring that had welled up from the very spot where Bernadette had been instructed to dig. According to Saint Bernadette Soubirous, the Lady of her visions was a girl of 16 or 17 who wore a white robe with a blue sash. Yellow roses covered her feet, a large rosary was on her right arm. In the vision on March 25 she told Bernadette, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” It was only when the words were explained to her that Bernadette came to realize who the Lady was. Few visions have ever undergone the scrutiny that these appearances of the Immaculate Virgin were subject to. Lourdes became one of the most popular Marian shrines in the world, attracting millions of visitors. Miracles were reported at the shrine and in the waters of the spring. After thorough investigation, Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions in 1862. During her life, Saint Bernadette Soubirous suffered much. She was hounded by the public as well as by civic officials until at last she was protected in a convent of nuns. Five years later, she petitioned to enter the Sisters of Notre Dame of Nevers. After a period of illness she was able to make the journey from Lourdes and enter the novitiate. But within four months of her arrival she was given the last rites of the Church and allowed to profess her vows. She recovered enough to become infirmarian and then sacristan, but chronic health problems persisted. She died on April 16, 1879, at the age of 35. Bernadette Soubirous was canonized in 1933. Reflection Millions of people have come to the spring Bernadette uncovered for healing of body and spirit, but she found no relief from ill health there. Saint Bernadette Soubirous moved through life, guided only by blind faith in things she did not understand—as we all must do from time to time.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

LA MORTE DI VITTORIO MESSORI, IL PIU' GRANDE APOLOGETA DEI NOSTRI TEMPICon milioni di libri venduti in tutte le lingue, ha fatto crescere nella fede generazioni di cattolicidi Riccardo CascioliFra pochi giorni avrebbe compiuto 85 anni, e invece ieri sera alle 21.10, al tramonto del Venerdì santo, il cuore di Vittorio Messori ha cessato di battere. Impossibile racchiudere in poche parole cosa abbia rappresentato Messori per la cultura cattolica, non solo italiana. Non per niente nella sua casa di Desenzano sul Garda le immagini delle copertine dei suoi libri, tradotti in decine di lingue, coprono diverse pareti.Da quando pubblicò nel 1976 Ipotesi su Gesù, frutto di 12 anni di lavoro di indagine seguito alla sua fulminea conversione al cattolicesimo, Messori è diventato un punto di riferimento mondiale per la rinascita dell'apologetica: non una difesa d'ufficio della Chiesa, ma approfondimento serio e documentato delle ragioni della fede. Basterebbe leggere uno solo dei suoi libri per comprendere la serietà e l'amore alla Verità che lo muoveva. Non a caso il suo lavoro di ricerca personale ha riportato - e fatto crescere - alla fede tante persone.Posso dire anche che senza di lui non ci sarebbe oggi la Bussola: non solo perché il suo stile è stato di esempio e stimolo per noi giornalisti cattolici della generazione successiva, ma perché ho potuto godere per diversi anni della sua amicizia fin dai tempi del mensile Il Timone, diretto da Gianpaolo Barra, di cui è stato il padre nobile. E da lì ha fortemente incoraggiato l'avventura della Bussola, offrendo anche per i primi anni la sua collaborazione, strappando del tempo prezioso ai suoi ultimi lavori concentrati soprattutto sulla figura di Maria e a quello che percepiva come il lavoro più importante del suo ultimo tratto di vita terrena: prepararsi alla morte, all'incontro con quel Cristo che tanto l'aveva affascinato.In questo rientra certamente il grande impegno profuso per costruire la cappella della Madonna dell'Ulivo in mezzo agli ulivi che circondano l'abbazia benedettina di Maguzzano, che domina il Lago di Garda, oggi retta dai Poveri Servi della Divina Provvidenza, la comunità sacerdotale fondata da san Giovanni Calabria. Nell'abbazia Messori aveva anche una stanza che era il suo ufficio personale dove ogni giorno si recava a lavorare e pregare. La Madonna dell'Ulivo è una chiesetta all'aperto, con dei muri che ricordano le architetture di Antoni Gaudì, costruita pezzo a pezzo mettendo insieme secondo un disegno che aveva bene in testa, oggetti sacri, antichi e moderni, che si fondono in un'opera armoniosa che esprime tutto l'amore a Cristo e alla Madonna di chi l'ha realizzata. Era una visita obbligata ogni volta che si andava a trovarlo ed era di un fascino irresistibile sentirlo spiegare ogni dettaglio di questa costruzione e l'origine e il motivo degli ultimi pezzi aggiunti.Il mio rimpianto più grande è forse quello di non avere fatto in tempo a realizzare un video in cui Vittorio stesso spiegasse la chiesetta della Madonna dell'Ulivo, perché tutti potessero condividere il significato profondo di questa opera. Lo avrebbe voluto tanto anche sua moglie Rosanna Brichetti, ma purtroppo l'insorgere di problemi di salute e poi i problemi legati all'era del Covid, hanno reso impossibile il progetto. Evidentemente Dio aveva disposto altrimenti.Resta però il fatto che se i suoi libri sono testimonianza della ragionevolezza della fede, seguendo la sua ricerca intellettuale, la chiesetta della Madonna dell'Ulivo rappresenta il culmine della sua esperienza spirituale, l'espressione carnale di un amore profondo: è il suo testamento vivente.Ho nominato sua moglie Rosanna, non a caso. Tra pochi giorni, quel 16 aprile che è anche la data del compleanno di Vittorio nonché il giorno della nascita al cielo di Bernadette Soubirous, la veggente di Lourdes tanto amata da Messori, ricorrono i quattro anni dalla sua morte. È stato l'altro grande amore di Vittorio Messori, un matrimonio frutto di una storia unica, vagliata attraverso un cammino di sofferenza, ed esso stesso una testimonianza di fede. Proprio Rosanna lo ha voluto raccontare in un libro uscito nel 2018, Una fede in due – La mia vita con Vittorio. Ma era incontrandoli insieme, nella semplicità di una chiacchierata, che si percepiva quanto quel legame profondo in Dio fosse l'origine della libertà che vivevano e trasmettevano.Indimenticabili quei pranzi fatti insieme – ovviamente dopo la visita a Maguzzano – loro due e io con mia moglie, sulle sponde del lago di Garda, in cui si parlava con semplicità della vita della Chiesa, del nostro lavoro e delle piccole e grandi cose della nostra vita quotidiana. Ciò che rendeva desiderabili e godibili questi momenti non era tanto ciò che si poteva imparare intellettualmente ma l'atmosfera che si viveva, che rendeva comprensibile l'esortazione di San Paolo ai Corinzi: «Sia dunque che mangiate, sia che beviate, sia che facciate qualsiasi altra cosa, fate tutto per la gloria di Dio».A futura memoria bisogna anche aggiungere che è proprio intorno a quei tavoli che è nata una collaborazione di Rosanna alla Bussola dedicata alla Madonna (articoli poi raccolti nel libro della Bussola De Maria numquam satis), e anche l'ispirazione per la Bussola mensile.Sarebbe fin troppo scontato dire che la scomparsa di Vittorio Messori, dopo quella di sua moglie Rosanna Brichetti, lascia un grande vuoto nella cultura cattolica. In realtà la sua morte ci richiama al compito di proseguire, ognuno al suo posto, il lavoro da lui svolto nella scoperta appassionata giorno dopo giorno delle ragioni della fede.

Lourdes, ville de pèlerinage marial : située dans le sud-ouest de la France, cette petite ville des Hautes-Pyrénées de 13 500 habitants reçoit plus de 3 millions de visiteurs par an dont quelque 60 000 malades, et constitue le lieu de pèlerinage marial le plus important du pays. Cette piété populaire naît à Lourdes en 1858, lorsqu'une jeune bergère de 14 ans, Bernadette Soubirous, aurait vu à 18 reprises la Vierge Marie dans la grotte de Massabielle, d'où une source d'eau miraculeuse aurait jailli. Ces apparitions de la Vierge reconnues par l'Église catholique ont suscité un engouement et ont largement contribué au développement de la ville. Cette histoire est à l'origine des pèlerinages qui ont transformé la petite bourgade en un centre d'attraction mondial. Depuis 1858, l'Église catholique a reconnu 72 miracles, le dernier datant de mai 2025. Ces miracles de Lourdes sont une attraction pour beaucoup de croyants. Un Bureau des constatations médicales existe depuis 1883, renforcé par un comité médical international de Lourdes depuis 1947 qui regroupe une trentaine de médecins du monde entier, chargés de déterminer si une guérison est inexpliquée et soudaine suite à un séjour à Lourdes, parmi les millions de demandes déposées par des visiteurs et pèlerins. Quête intérieure, demandes d'intersession, de guérison, tourisme de pèlerinage… Religions du Monde vous propose un reportage au cœur du Sanctuaire de Lourdes. En images

Diesmal zeigt sich Matussek elektrisiert von Franz Werfels Roman „Das Lied von Bernadette“. Der jüdische Emigrant, der auf der Flucht nach Spanien in diesem Pyrenäennest Lourdes gestrandet war, erfüllte damit ein Gelübde: Sollte er mit seiner Frau Alma Mahler-Werfel heil in den USA ankommen, würde er die Geschichte der kleinen Bernadette Soubirous aufschreiben. Das Buch wurde ein Weltbestseller und mit Jennifer Jones in der Hauptrolle verfilmt, die dafür den Oscar erhielt – damals galten offenbar die strengen ideologischen Vorgaben noch nicht. Können wir Wunder akzeptieren? Der Jude Franz Werfel tat es, er blieb offen nach oben und schrieb ein federndes, lichtdurchflutetes Meisterwerk. Die passende Lektüre für alle, die die Fastenzeit ernst nehmen wollen und sich erleichtert abwenden von den Katastrophen deutscher Tagespolitik. Dazu Briefe mit Fastentipps. Matussek fastet seit acht Tagen, fühlt sich verjüngt und empfiehlt das Fasten, wie es übrigens auch Mediziner tun, denn beim Fasten sterben alte Zellen ab, neue bilden sich, es ist eine Phase der Reparatur.

Glaubst Du an Wunder? Wir nüchternen Deutschen sind da doch eher skeptisch. Aber auch viele von uns haben schon Dinge erlebt, die so unerklärlich und so gegen jede Logik und jede Art von wissenschaftlichem Denken sind, dass wir gelegentlich eine Ahnung haben, dass es Dinge zwischen Himmel und Erde gibt, die wir nicht nüchtern und rational erklären können. Am 11. Februar 1858 sieht das vierzehnjährige Hirtenmädchen Bernadette Soubirous in einer Felsgrotte bei Lourdes zum ersten Mal die „Dame“, die sich als “die Unbefleckte Empfängnis“ vorstellte. Bernadette hatte diesen Titel noch nie gehört und es machte ihr Mühe, ihn richtig weiter zu geben. Die Erscheinung wiederholte sich bis zum 16. Juli an weiteren siebzehn Tagen. Dabei hat Maria die Menschen zur Wallfahrt an diesen Ort, vor allem aber zu Gebet und Umkehr zu Gott eingeladen. Zu der Grotte, in der auch eine Quelle entspringt, sind seither Millionen von Pilgern mit ihren leiblichen und seelischen Nöten gekommen. Seither soll es dort rund 30.000 Heilungen gegeben haben; 6.000 sind dokumentiert und 2.000 davon gelten als „medizinisch unerklärlich“. Nur 70 Heilungen wurden von der Kirche als Wunder eingestuft. Aber der Glaube der Pilger weiß viel mehr. Ich habe Menschen erlebt, die eine Reise nach Lourdes geschenkt bekommen haben und tatsächlich aus Neugier gefahren sind. Und sie sind nach Hause gekommen mit einem inneren Getröstet-sein, mit einer Gewissheit von Gottes Nähe und Güte, dass man das sogar als Außenstehende das gespürt hat. Trauen wir Gott eigentlich wunderbare Geschehnisse zu? Ein Gast hier bei uns im Konvent hat mir mal eine Postkarte dagelassen, die mich seitdem sehr unmissverständlich auffordert. Da steht nämlich ganz einfach: "Sei realistisch. Plane ein Wunder" 

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Kintore College in Toronto, on February 11, 2026, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.The Lord speaks today about the kind of openness to God's love we must have in the events of our life. He promises real resilience for us if we see his hand in our life.Mark 7:14-23: At that time: Jesus called the people to him again and said to them, ‘Hear me, all of you, and understand: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him.'What truly wounds us spiritually is not what happens to us, but what we consent to interiorly. We might easily blame external circumstances: our environment, other people, temptations, past wounds. Our growth is not about managing behaviour, but educating the heart: learning to recognize interior movements and choosing which ones to welcome, which ones to reject. It was present in the heart of Bernadette Soubirous, born in January 9, 1844, in the foothills of the Pyrenees in southern France, in Lourdes. Here is the story.

Wednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes; in 1858 in Lourdes, France, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous; eventually, thousands gathered around her to witness the events, including the appearance of a new, surging spring (still present today) from which Bernadette drank; today, millions visit the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes annually Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 2/11/26 Gospel: Mark 7:14-23

The Virgin Mary gave her name to a 14-year old girl near Lourdes, stating: "I am the Immaculate Conception." Lourdes is a town in southwestern France, in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains. It’s known for the Sanctuary of Notre-Dame de Lourdes, a major Catholic pilgrimage site. Each year, millions visit the Grotto of Massabielle (Grotto of the Apparitions) where, the Virgin Mary is said to have appeared 18 times (between 11 February and 16 July in 1858) to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. In the grotto or cave, pilgrims can drink or bathe in water flowing from a believed to be, miraculous spring. The annual Feast Day of Our Lady of Lourdes was established in 1890 for February 11 by Pope Leo XIII.

Full Text of Readings Wednesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 331 The Saint of the day is Our Lady of Lourdes The Story of Our Lady of Lourdes On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus. A little more than three years later, on February 11, 1858, a young lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This began a series of visions. During the apparition on March 25, the lady identified herself with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Bernadette was a sickly child of poor parents. Their practice of the Catholic faith was scarcely more than lukewarm. Bernadette could pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Creed. She also knew the prayer of the Miraculous Medal: “O Mary conceived without sin.” During interrogations Bernadette gave an account of what she saw. It was “something white in the shape of a girl.” She used the word aquero, a dialect term meaning “this thing.” It was “a pretty young girl with a rosary over her arm.” Her white robe was encircled by a blue girdle. She wore a white veil. There was a yellow rose on each foot. A rosary was in her hand. Bernadette was also impressed by the fact that the lady did not use the informal form of address (tu), but the polite form (vous). The humble virgin appeared to a humble girl and treated her with dignity. Through that humble girl, Mary revitalized and continues to revitalize the faith of millions of people. People began to flock to Lourdes from other parts of France and from all over the world. In 1862 Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions and authorized the cult of Our Lady of Lourdes for the diocese. The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes became worldwide in 1907. Reflection Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage and healing, but even more of faith. Church authorities have recognized over 60 miraculous cures, although there have probably been many more. To people of faith this is not surprising. It is a continuation of Jesus' healing miracles—now performed at the intercession of his mother. Some would say that the greater miracles are hidden. Many who visit Lourdes return home with renewed faith and a readiness to serve God in their needy brothers and sisters. There still may be people who doubt the apparitions of Lourdes. Perhaps the best that can be said to them are the words that introduce the film The Song of Bernadette: “For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

l nome di Lourdes, assieme a quello di Fatima, evoca una delle più grandi apparizioni mariane della storia. In questo comune francese, ai piedi dei Pirenei, tra l'11 febbraio e il 16 luglio 1858, nella grotta di Massabielle, la Madonna apparve diciotto volte a una contadina di quattordici anni, Bernadette Soubirous. Il carattere miracoloso dell'evento fu riconosciuto da Pio IX e da tutti i Papi suoi successori, alcuni dei quali visitarono Lourdes. Bernadette fu canonizzata dalla Chiesa e sul luogo delle apparizioni furono costruite tre basiliche, che formano un unico santuario, il terzo al mondo per il numero dei pellegrini, dopo la basilica di San Pietro e quella di Guadalupe.Il nome di Lourdes è legato innanzitutto all'Immacolata Concezione, perché la Beata Vergin

Vanessa, on continue de découvrir — redécouvrir — nos villes sanctuaires. Le tourisme spirituel et culturel a trouvé sa place. Ce matin, direction les Hautes-Pyrénées : Lourdes.Le sanctuaire international par excellence, l'un des quatre plus hauts lieux de pèlerinage catholique avec le Vatican et Fatima. Un sanctuaire marial que l'on doit aux apparitions faites à Bernadette Soubirous en 1858. Dix-huit apparitions qui ont eu lieu entre le 11 février et le 16 juillet, à la grotte de Massabielle. Bernadette n'était qu'une jeune adolescente de 14 ans, pauvre et illettrée, donc personne ne donnait crédit à ses récits : la source d'eau, l'endroit où devait être érigée la chapelle… jusqu'à ce qu'elle répète au curé Peyramale la phrase que la Dame blanche à la ceinture bleue lui avait confiée en patois : « Que soy era immaculada councepciou » — « Je suis l'Immaculée Conception ».Et voilà, en résumé — gigantesque résumé — comment est né le sanctuaire Notre-Dame de Lourdes. Le premier pèlerinage a lieu en 1858 et, depuis, des millions de pèlerins en quête de guérison prient et s'immergent dans les bassins.Qu'est-ce que vous nous invitez à faire au sanctuaire ?Participer à la procession mariale aux flambeaux. Elle a lieu chaque soir d'avril à octobre. L'esplanade est alors envahie d'une lumière de toute beauté. Une véritable communion pour les croyants et les pèlerins. Mais pendant les fêtes de Noël, la grotte est aussi illuminée tous les soirs et accueille, cette fois-ci, les chapelets aux flambeaux.Et puis je vous invite à marcher, bien sûr : le chemin de croix des Espélugues, celui de la Prairie, et enfin le chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle.Et si l'on veut en profiter pour faire d'autres découvertes, que proposez-vous ?Visiter la Ciergerie de Lourdes, entreprise du patrimoine vivant, qui existe depuis 1928. Le cierge a une double symbolique. Lors de la 17ᵉ apparition, Bernadette tenait un cierge allumé qu'elle a laissé se consumer dans ses mains, sans se brûler ! Et puis, sans cierge, pas de feutier : un métier unique au monde. Ils prennent soin de la flamme, nettoient, rallument…Dans un tout autre genre, faites l'ascension du pic du Jer en funiculaire. En dix minutes, vous serez à 1 000 mètres d'altitude : l'un des plus beaux panoramas sur les Pyrénées.Et puis, comme il n'y a pas que la nourriture spirituelle, allez faire un tour au marché de Lourdes, sous ses belles halles du XIXᵉ siècle : charcuteries de porc noir de Bigorre, haricots tarbais, gâteau cuit à la broche… et du Madiran.Après tout ça, une bonne nuit s'impose à l'hôtel Beauséjour, avec vue sur la montagne.Fiche pratique https://www.villes-sanctuaires.com/ La ciergerie de Lourdes : https://www.ciergerie-lourdes.com/fr/ L'Hôtel Beauséjour : https://www.hotel-beausejour.com/Mandarine, clémentinesUn panier qui sent bon l'hiver : mandarine ou clémentine ? Chaque année, on les confond, on les mélange, on les déguste sans vraiment les distinguer… Alors, réglons ça une bonne fois pour toutes.La mandarine, c'est l'ancêtre. Originaire d'Asie, elle a voyagé longtemps avant d'atterrir sur nos étals. Elle se reconnaît à son parfum très prononcé et à sa peau fine qui se détache en petites poches d'air. Elle est délicieuse, mais… elle contient des pépins.Il n'y en a pas en FranceLa clémentine, elle, a un caractère plus doux. Et pour cause : c'est un hybride, né au début du XXᵉ siècle, fruit du mariage entre une mandarine et probablement une orange douce. Résultat : un agrume plus régulier, sans pépins ou presque, plus sucré, plus consensuel… bref, la star des goûters d'hiver. Et son épluchage est plus facileC'est un des grands produits de la Corse où elle bénéficie d'une IGP– on la reconnaît car elle est vendue avec ses feuilles (méfiez-vous quand même des imitations)Clafoutis de clémentine : épluchez et otez les parties blanches de 8 clémentines / les placer dans un plat / réaliser l'appareil : 3 œufs, 80 gr de sucre, 80 gr de farine, 30 cl de lait entier, les grains d'une gousse de vanille / cuire 40 min à 180°Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Pour la première fois, des chrétiens et des musulmans se sont rendus ensemble en pèlerinage à Lourdes, dans le sud-ouest de la France, pour partager un temps spirituel et de fraternité autour de la figure de Marie, qu'ils ont en commun. Une démarche qui invitait à la connaissance de l'autre, au dialogue et au partage entre citoyens de religions différentes dans un espace commun. Ce pèlerinage est un exemple de dialogue interreligieux, 60 ans après la déclaration Nostra Aetate lors du Concile Vatican II lorsque l'Église catholique a changé sa relation avec les autres religions non chrétiennes, en affirmant que : «Tous les peuples forment une seule communauté. Ils ont une seule origine, puisque Dieu a fait habiter tout le genre humain sur toute la face de la Terre». Rendez-vous était donné à Lourdes par l'association EFESIA et le mouvement Ensemble avec Marie, lancé il y a 10 ans. Un lieu emblématique, puisque l'histoire du sanctuaire de Lourdes remonte au XIXè siècle. Une jeune femme de 14 ans, Bernadette Soubirous, une bergère analphabète et en mauvaise santé, dit avoir été témoin de 18 apparitions de la Vierge en 1858, dans la grotte de Massabielle, d'où une source d'eau miraculeuse aurait jailli. Cette jeune femme, pauvre dans une famille très aimante, aurait été choisie par la Vierge Marie se présentant devant elle comme l'Immaculée Conception, pour réaliser ses requêtes dont celle de construire un sanctuaire pour y venir en procession. Cette histoire constitue pour beaucoup de croyants et de pèlerins un message d'espérance et d'humilité. Bernadette Soubirous (qui est décédée en 1879 à Nevers à l'âge de 36 ans), a été canonisée le 8 décembre 1933 par l'Église catholique, elle est donc devenue Sainte. C'est donc à Lourdes qu'une soixantaine de personnes se sont retrouvées pour ce pèlerinage chrétien et musulman autour de Marie. Reportage et témoignages de chrétiens et musulmans.   Remerciements à l'association EFESIA et au mouvement Ensemble avec Marie pour leur accueil, ainsi qu'à tous les participants à ce pèlerinage et à la Cité Saint-Pierre du Secours Catholique.

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of Holy Week Lectionary: 259The Saint of the day is Saint Bernadette SoubirousSaint Bernadette Soubirous' Story Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844, the first child of an extremely poor miller in the town of Lourdes in southern France. The family was living in the basement of a dilapidated building when on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette in a cave above the banks of the Gave River near Lourdes. Bernadette, 14 years old, was known as a virtuous girl though a dull student who had not even made her first Holy Communion. In poor health, she had suffered from asthma from an early age. There were 18 appearances in all, the final one occurring on the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16. Although Bernadette's initial reports provoked skepticism, her daily visions of “the Lady” brought great crowds of the curious. The Lady, Bernadette explained, had instructed her to have a chapel built on the spot of the visions. There, the people were to come to wash in and drink of the water of the spring that had welled up from the very spot where Bernadette had been instructed to dig. According to Bernadette, the Lady of her visions was a girl of 16 or 17 who wore a white robe with a blue sash. Yellow roses covered her feet, a large rosary was on her right arm. In the vision on March 25 she told Bernadette, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” It was only when the words were explained to her that Bernadette came to realize who the Lady was. Few visions have ever undergone the scrutiny that these appearances of the Immaculate Virgin were subject to. Lourdes became one of the most popular Marian shrines in the world, attracting millions of visitors. Miracles were reported at the shrine and in the waters of the spring. After thorough investigation, Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions in 1862. During her life, Bernadette suffered much. She was hounded by the public as well as by civic officials until at last she was protected in a convent of nuns. Five years later, she petitioned to enter the Sisters of Notre Dame of Nevers. After a period of illness she was able to make the journey from Lourdes and enter the novitiate. But within four months of her arrival she was given the last rites of the Church and allowed to profess her vows. She recovered enough to become infirmarian and then sacristan, but chronic health problems persisted. She died on April 16, 1879, at the age of 35. Bernadette Soubirous was canonized in 1933. Reflection Millions of people have come to the spring Bernadette uncovered for healing of body and spirit, but she found no relief from ill health there. Bernadette moved through life, guided only by blind faith in things she did not understand—as we all must do from time to time. Learn more about Saint Bernadette!

Episode 212 it is - we're cruising into 1858 but wait! The sounds of gunfire! Yes, it's that old South African tune, war, set to the music of the guns. Our society is steeped in action, movement, confrontation. This is not a place for the insipid, the weak, the fearful. Whatever our belief system or our personal politics, what cannot be disputed is that the country and our ways are those of the warrior. This is an uncomfortable truth for metropolitans who are more used to single latte's than sling shots. Globally, 1858 is full of momentous events and incidents. It was the year in which Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace present their papers on evolution by natural selection in London. In India, a peace treaty ends the Indian Rebellion and later in the year the British parliament passes the Government of India Act. This transfers the territories of the British East India Company and their administration to the Direct Rule of the British Crown. The great stink in London led parliament to a bill to create modern sewerage system after the dreadful odours wafting about the British capital during the summer. Another young girl dreams up appiritions in the mode of Nongqawuse who dreamed up the cattle Killings - this time its Bernadette Soubirous who claims she saw several appritions appeared before her in the southern French town of Lourdes. Without going into too many gory details, around Ash Wednesday a woman appeared before her inside a grotto and after three appearances over time, began to talk. By October, the government had shut down the grotto there were so many people pitching up to take part in what was called a miracle. A miracle only she could see. Strange how these stories in this period repeated themselves. Back in Africa, David Livingstones six-year long second Zambezi expedition arrived on the Indian Ocean coast. Which is an important moment because inland, the tension between the Boers of the Free State and King Moshoeshoe of Basutoland had been exacerbated. A drought was reported in the region in 1858 which exacerbated everything. The Volksraad met in February 1858. They were faced with a request for help to deal with Posholi signed by a field-cornet and sixty five other burghers in the disputed area.Later in February 1858 Smithfield Landdrost Jacobus Sauer sent more news from the badlands - Posholi was, in his words, parading through Smithfield district with warriors and when accosted, said he was on a hunting expedition. When the Commando eventually gathered, there were one thousand armed and mounted Boers. Which was exactly ten percent the size of the Basotho force of ten thousand, all mounted with at least five hundred firearms. Back at the Thaba Bosiu ranch, Moshoeshoe was a sea of calm. It was now war and the king along with the territorial chiefs and councillors, put their plans into motion. They'd faced this kind of attack before, the British had raided them in 1852 if you recall. That had ended in disaster for the empire, so Moshoeshoe was not rattled by the latest assault on his independence.

Our Lady of Lourdes Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  First, I want to share with you all a wonderful opportunity to engage in fellowship. On Sunday February 23rd from 1-3:30 pm our Family Faith Formation staff and volunteers are hosting a "Children's Outdoor Fun Day." We'll have food trucks, drink carts, face painting and many other activities for everyone! See you there.  Second, our annual Charity and Development Appeal (CDA) has begun. This is our diocese's annual appeal to support charitable works throughout our diocese including (but not limited to) supporting the education and formation of our seminarians, future priests for the Diocese of Phoenix. Thank you all for your generosity to the CDA. You can learn more about the CDA here: https://dphx.org/cda/ Lastly, we celebrated earlier in February two pretty cool saint days, at least for me, Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette Soubirous- the visionary of Lourdes. This was the Marian apparition that sparked in me a deeper desire and love of Mary and Marian devotions. I share more about it in the video, no spoilers here!  God bless,  Fr.

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Fifth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 330The Saint of the day is Our Lady of LourdesThe Story of Our Lady of Lourdes On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus. A little more than three years later, on February 11, 1858, a young lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This began a series of visions. During the apparition on March 25, the lady identified herself with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Bernadette was a sickly child of poor parents. Their practice of the Catholic faith was scarcely more than lukewarm. Bernadette could pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Creed. She also knew the prayer of the Miraculous Medal: “O Mary conceived without sin.” During interrogations Bernadette gave an account of what she saw. It was “something white in the shape of a girl.” She used the word aquero, a dialect term meaning “this thing.” It was “a pretty young girl with a rosary over her arm.” Her white robe was encircled by a blue girdle. She wore a white veil. There was a yellow rose on each foot. A rosary was in her hand. Bernadette was also impressed by the fact that the lady did not use the informal form of address (tu), but the polite form (vous). The humble virgin appeared to a humble girl and treated her with dignity. Through that humble girl, Mary revitalized and continues to revitalize the faith of millions of people. People began to flock to Lourdes from other parts of France and from all over the world. In 1862 Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions and authorized the cult of Our Lady of Lourdes for the diocese. The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes became worldwide in 1907. Reflection Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage and healing, but even more of faith. Church authorities have recognized over 60 miraculous cures, although there have probably been many more. To people of faith this is not surprising. It is a continuation of Jesus' healing miracles—now performed at the intercession of his mother. Some would say that the greater miracles are hidden. Many who visit Lourdes return home with renewed faith and a readiness to serve God in their needy brothers and sisters. There still may be people who doubt the apparitions of Lourdes. Perhaps the best that can be said to them are the words that introduce the film The Song of Bernadette: “For those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.” Our Lady of Lourdes is the Patron Saint of: Relief from physical ills Enjoy this meditation on Lourdes!

Full Text of ReadingsMonday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 467The Saint of the day is Blessed Carlo AcutisBlessed Carlo Acutis’ Story Born in London and raised in Milan, Carlo's wealthy parents were not particularly religious. Upon receiving his first communion at age seven, Carlo became a frequent communicant, making a point of praying before the tabernacle before or after every Mass. In addition to Francis of Assisi, Carlo took several of the younger saints as his models, including Bernadette Soubirous, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, and Dominic Savio. At school Carlo tried to comfort friends whose parents were undergoing divorce, as well as stepping in to defend disabled students from bullies. After school hours he volunteered his time with the city’s homeless and destitute. Considered a computer geek by some, Carlo spent four years creating a website dedicated to cataloguing every reported Eucharistic miracle around the world. He also enjoyed films, comics, soccer, and playing popular video games. Diagnosed with leukemia, Carlo offered his sufferings to God for the intentions of the sitting pope—Benedict XVI—and the entire Church. His longtime desire to visit as many sites of Eucharistic miracles as possible was cut short by his illness. Carlo died in 2006 and was beatified in 2020. As he had wished, Carlo was buried in Assisi at St. Mary Major's “Chapel of the Stripping”, where Francis had returned his clothes to his father and began a more radical following of the Gospel. Among the thousands present for Carlo's beatification at Assisi's Basilica of St. Francis were many of his childhood friends. Presiding at the beatification service, Cardinal Agostino Vallini praised Carlo as an example of how young people can use technology to spread the Gospel “to reach as many people as possible and help them know the beauty of friendship with the Lord.” His liturgical feast is celebrated on October 12. Reflection Carlo Acutis did not strive to become famous but rather to cooperate as generously as possible with God's grace. That journey brought him many experiences, but they were all united by a burning desire to serve God and others as generously as possible. Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Full Text of ReadingsTuesday of the Third Week of Easter Lectionary: 274The Saint of the day is Saint Bernadette SoubirousSaint Bernadette Soubirous' Story Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844, the first child of an extremely poor miller in the town of Lourdes in southern France. The family was living in the basement of a dilapidated building when on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette in a cave above the banks of the Gave River near Lourdes. Bernadette, 14 years old, was known as a virtuous girl though a dull student who had not even made her first Holy Communion. In poor health, she had suffered from asthma from an early age. There were 18 appearances in all, the final one occurring on the feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, July 16. Although Bernadette's initial reports provoked skepticism, her daily visions of “the Lady” brought great crowds of the curious. The Lady, Bernadette explained, had instructed her to have a chapel built on the spot of the visions. There, the people were to come to wash in and drink of the water of the spring that had welled up from the very spot where Bernadette had been instructed to dig. According to Bernadette, the Lady of her visions was a girl of 16 or 17 who wore a white robe with a blue sash. Yellow roses covered her feet, a large rosary was on her right arm. In the vision on March 25 she told Bernadette, “I am the Immaculate Conception.” It was only when the words were explained to her that Bernadette came to realize who the Lady was. Few visions have ever undergone the scrutiny that these appearances of the Immaculate Virgin were subject to. Lourdes became one of the most popular Marian shrines in the world, attracting millions of visitors. Miracles were reported at the shrine and in the waters of the spring. After thorough investigation, Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions in 1862. During her life, Bernadette suffered much. She was hounded by the public as well as by civic officials until at last she was protected in a convent of nuns. Five years later, she petitioned to enter the Sisters of Notre Dame of Nevers. After a period of illness she was able to make the journey from Lourdes and enter the novitiate. But within four months of her arrival she was given the last rites of the Church and allowed to profess her vows. She recovered enough to become infirmarian and then sacristan, but chronic health problems persisted. She died on April 16, 1879, at the age of 35. Bernadette Soubirous was canonized in 1933. Reflection Millions of people have come to the spring Bernadette uncovered for healing of body and spirit, but she found no relief from ill health there. Bernadette moved through life, guided only by blind faith in things she did not understand—as we all must do from time to time. Learn more about Saint Bernadette!
