Her Pastor Didn't Believe Her!
Initially, St. Bernadette's pastor didn't believe that she was seeing the Blessed Virgin Mary appear to her; no doubt it would be a difficult thing to believe!

Father Joe shares how you can visit the Grotto in Lourdes every day as we continue our virtual Marian pilgrimage through France.
Using the example of the cistern which always provided a source of life-giving water to the home of Francisco and Jacinta, Fr. Joe notes how, amid the culture of death that surrounds us, God will always provide light, life, and safety to us.
Father Joe tells how Francisco was a "little contemplative"; he would retreat to the attic of his house to escape the crowds, be quiet, and listen to God.All of us need to be alone and to pray at times, as Jesus did often.
