Thus in the chosen city He has given me rest...I have struck root among the glorious people, in the portion of the Lord, His heritage. - Sirach 24:11-12
Reflection: Lourdes is a prophecy of justice and peace, where there is no room for pride and hardness of heart. Indeed, Lourdes is where this hardness is dissolved by one's witness of charity, mercy, serene resistance to evil, human solidarity, and sincere and moving generosity.
- Pope John Paul II
Prayer: O Mary, you appeared to the humble young woman, St. Bernadette Soubirous, to call us to conversion. Help me to respond to that call with generosity.
