Feast 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.” Enroll a loved one, to be remembered during this Mass celebration. Ask Our Lady to cast a merciful glance upon your intention for one who may be suffering or struggling. May our Mother's intercession to her Son, Jesus, grant hope and peace to your loved one. |
