Song of Bernadette (Lourdes 1858)

Description "The Spirit.... will lead you into all the truth." ~ Joh n 16:13

In 1858, a girl named Bernadette reported apparitions of Ma ry at a hillside in Lourdes, France.
Sick people visited the site and w ere cured. Over, 1,300 cures are well documented.

In the 1930s, A lexis Carrel, a skeptical New York surgeon and Nobel Prize winner, went t o Lourdes to investigate the claims. While there, he witnessed a girl bein g cured. He stood in silence, totally stunned. That night, he went for a long walk. Ending up in a church, he prayed:

"I still doubt... Bene ath... intellectual pride a smothered dream persists... the dream of believ ing."

He returned to his hotel and recorded his observations. In The Voyage of Lourdes, he describes what then happened:

"A n ew coolness penetrated the open window. I felt the serenity of nature enter my soul with gentle calm. All intellectual doubts had vanished." ~ Mar k Link, S.J.
