Darren & I just finished watching the movie "Song of Bernadette". It tells the story of the life of Bernadette Soubirous to whom Our Lady of Lourdes appeared 18 times in the mid-1880's. Even today Lourdes, France is a pilgrimage for many of faith who desire physical, emotional, or spiritual healing. What a beautiful telling of an amazingly humble life!
I had the privilege of visiting Nevers, France back when I was a sophomore in college with two great friends & a fantastic priest. She was one of the first incorruptible saints I had ever seen . . . & is still the most amazing to me. Here is a photo of her body now over 100 years later as she lies in a glass casket in the Church there. Her incorruptibility is one of the many miracles that attributed to her sainthood. What a beautiful face . . . the face that looked upon Our Blessed Mother. I am inspired by her profound humility & her steadfast commitment to truth. She is just one of many saints that are such an inspiration to lead a holy life!

St. Bernadette, pray for us!
