St. Bernadette & “I Am the Immaculate Conception” ~ Fr. Armand de Malleray, FSSP

About this sermon

On February 11, 1858, a poor and unknown girl named Bernadette Soubirous walked into the cold to gather firewood for her destitute family. Heaven chose that moment to change the world. In the grotto of Massabielle at Lourdes, France, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to this simple child — not to theologians, not to royalty, but to a girl living in what had once been a prison cell. When asked her name, the Lady responded with words Bernadette herself did not understand: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” In this sermon, we explore: The poverty and humility of St. Bernadette Why Mary revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception The theological meaning of the dogma The powerful call to penance at Lourdes “I do not promise to make you happy in this life, but in the next.” What the message of Lourdes means for Catholics today The apparitions at Lourdes remind us that this life is preparation for eternity. Our Lady calls us to humility, penance, and trust in divine providence. May we follow in the footsteps of St. Bernadette and become true children of Mary. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
