Our Lady of Lourdes mini with lanyard

Our Lady of Lourdes 4.75" Plush

On February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, a poor fourteen-year-old girl, in a grotto at Massabielle near Lourdes, France. Over eighteen apparitions she asked for prayer and penance, told Bernadette to dig in the ground — where a spring rose that flows to this day — and finally gave her name: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Millions have come to that spring since, and Our Lady of Lourdes has become the mother the sick and the frightened turn to first.

Our Lady of Lourdes reminds us that our Mother comes to the small and the suffering — and asks only for our trust.
