Just two hours from the famous apparition site of Lourdes is the monastery of Notre Dame de Prouille. Here St. Dominic founded the Dominican order and Our Lady appeared to him to give him the prayer of the Rosary.

Our Lady looked sad after the Miracle of the Sun, telling the children that God was offended by the sins of the world. Father Joe calls us to holiness to fulfill Our Lady's plan for our salvation. 

The pastor in Lourdes didn't believe that St. Bernadette was receiving apparitions of Our Lady. To prove that it really was Our Lady, St. Bernadette was told to ask Our Lady one thing.Our Lady's reply to Bernadette: "I am the Immaculate Conception"Father Joe shares about this just outside the rectory where St. Bernadette's pastor lived in Lourdes.
