Our Lady of Lourdes (11 February): Butler's Lives of the Saints

About this sermon

On February 11, 1858, a poor and sickly 14-year-old girl named Bernadette Soubirous encountered a radiant Lady in white at the grotto of Massabielle in Lourdes, France. What followed were 18 apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary, culminating in the revelation: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” In this episode from The Lives of the Saints by Father Alban Butler, we recount the extraordinary events at Lourdes — the miraculous spring, the skepticism of authorities, the call to prayer and penance, and the quiet sanctity of St. Bernadette. Discover: The origin of the miraculous spring of Lourdes The meaning of “I Am the Immaculate Conception” The Church’s investigation into the apparitions The humility and holiness of St. Bernadette Why Lourdes remains one of the greatest Marian shrines in the world Our Lady of Lourdes continues to draw millions seeking healing — physical and spiritual. Her message remains timeless: Prayer, Penance, and Conversion. 📿 Feast Day: February 11 💧 Patroness of the Sick ⛪ Shrine: Lourdes, France May Our Lady of Lourdes intercede for us and bring us closer to her Divine Son. 0:00 Introduction 0:20 February 11, 1858 – The First Apparition 1:47 The Lady in White Appears 2:23 Skepticism & Family Reaction 3:30 The Second Apparition & Holy Water 5:02 The Third Apparition – “Come for Two Weeks” 6:00 Prayer for Sinners 7:44 The Miracle of the Spring 9:17 The Growing Crowds 10:18 Request for a Chapel 11:11 “I Am the Immaculate Conception” 11:52 The Miracle of the Candle Flame 12:51 The Final Apparition – July 16 13:21 Answering Critics & Doubters 15:09 The Hidden Life of St. Bernadette 16:02 False Visionaries & Authentic Sanctity 17:30 The Legacy of Lourdes https://sensusfidelium.com/the-lives-of-the-fathers-martyrs-and-other-principal-saints/february/ Get Butler's Lives of the Saints here: https://loretopublications.idevaffiliate.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=102&url=1 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶ 1.
