11 February 2019, Our Lady of Lourdes
‘PEACE FLOWING LIKE A RIVER.’ (Isaiah 66:10-14)
The appearance of Mary, our Lady, to Bernadette Soubirous in
Lourdes, France, in 1858, was a hidden quiet event and the little girl had some
difficulty persuading people it really happened. But, in time, people came to Lourdes and
found healing, occasionally even physical, and discovered it as a place of
peace and hope. Bernadette suffered later
as she wrestled with the contrast between the hardships of daily life and the
glimpse of the reality as seen by God which she had been able to witness.
Underlying it was the confidence generated by that glimpse which, in different ways,
comes to each of us.
