The Story of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes

Born January 7th, 1844, Bernadette was the oldest of six children
in a very poor family headed by Francois and Louise Casterot.
She was hired out as a servant from age twelve to age fourteen.
On February 11, 1858, around the time of her first Communion,
she received a vision of the Virgin Mary. She received seventeen
more visions over the next five months and was led
to a spring of healing waters. She moved into a house with
the sisters of Nevers at Lourdes where she continued to live.
There she also worked and learned to read and write.
The sisters cared for the sick and indigent.
At age twenty-two they admitted Bernadette into their order,
as she was sickly. Bernadette died on April 16th,
1879 in Nevers France of natural causes, with a prayer for Mary's aid.

Bernadette was Beatified in 1925
and in 1933 Bernadette was Canonized by Pope Pius XI.

Since the appearances of Mary to young Bernadette in 1858,
more than 200 million people have visited the shrine and spring of Lourdes.

The Spring at the Shrine of Lourdes

Lourdes Water is water that comes from the miraculous spring
at the Shrine of Lourdes in Southern France. This spring gushed forth
“miraculously” on February 25th, 1858 when Bernadette scratched the
soil on which she was kneeling. Since then the water from this spring has
been instrumental in granting countless miraculous cures
and is known the world over as Lourdes Water.

Millions of the faithful report there is a powerful healing energy
present that has made the Basilica the most visited pilgrimage
shrine in all Christendom. The origins of the pilgrimage to Lourdes
began with Bernadette Soubirous, the fourteen year old daughter
of devout Christian peasants. Between February 11 and July 16, 1858,
Bernadette saw apparitions of a white-robed lady 18 times
in a small grotto called Massabiele, along the banks of the river
Gave de Pau. In the apparitions the lady told Bernadette to
"go tell the village priest to build a chapel here" and that many
people would soon come in procession to the holy grotto.
On the day of the 16th apparition, March 25, the lady revealed
herself as Mary. During her ecstatic trance in front of the grotto
that day, Bernadette suddenly rose from her knees,
walked a short distance, and fell to the ground. Fervently she
began to dig in the earth until a small puddle of water appeared.
Over the next few days the puddle gradually formed into a pool and
eventually became the sacred Spring for which Lourdes is now so famous.

From 1864 to 1872 the site was mostly a regional pilgrimage destination
attracting approximately 30,000 persons per year. Initially the shrine
was not known for its curative power but after 1873,
when incidents of healing at the spring began to be reported,
the shrine rapidly developed a national and then international reputation
for having therapeutic powers. Pilgrims visiting Lourdes for its healing
powers bathe in pools filled with cold water piped from
Bernadette's spring. Reports of miracles are very thoroughly examined
and evidence seems to indicate that there are indeed
many cases of verifiable healings at the grotto.

The increasing number of pilgrims eventually overcrowded
the original basilica, built above the grotto in 1876, and in 1958
an immense concrete church, seating 20,000, was built.
The stream of pilgrims to Lourdes is characterized by a strong
seasonality. The season lasts from April through October, with the
main pilgrimage day being August 15, the Marian Feast of Assumption.
Four to six million pilgrims visit the shrine each year,
and a study done in 1978 showed the pilgrims coming from
111 countries with females accounting for 69% of the pilgrims.
It is estimated that more than 200 million pilgrims have come to
Lourdes since 1860. According to the author's theories regarding
the powers at sacred sites, this large number of devout pilgrims
has contributed to and thereby amplified the field of holiness
that surrounds the shrine of Lourdes. This field then attracts more
pilgrims who in turn contribute to the further empowerment of the field.
