THE NEW PILGRIM WAY...... 42 With you, Bernadette…
… we walk towards the brightness of heaven, while knowing well that we are still on the earth. Appear- ance was not for you an comprehensive insurance policy against the difficulties of life, nor a guaran- tee of eternal life. This little Lady who looked like you called you to share the grace which she re- ceived, to answer yes to the love which offers itself, both in these wonderful visits, and in the ordinary.
That's what Lourdes is. The joy of meeting and de- votion on the road."My life is a miracle," writes Sister Bernadette Moriau, the 70th officially recognised miraculous healing. Pilgrimage would not make sense if it made us forget the grey days, only for us to come back to them afterwards. Pilgrimage is part of our daily life so that we can brighten it from within. The brightness of the grotto allows to discover the Cachot where, under the apparent destitution, shines the love of a family united in prayer and trust.
"Happy are the poor," we hear thanks to you, Bernadette. The word of Jesus speaks to us, and to all the little ones he wants to reach by the power of a look and a ges- ture of love, by which it is our duty to relay his presence. Lourdes is a parable of the Gospel, a discovery of the joy of loving and serving.
Pilgrims and visitors, we are expected like you, in the hollow of our weaknesses and our sins, to become witnesses of the mercy that brings life. Lourdes is the city of forgiveness that heals. You knew that you had to immerse your hands in the mud for a spring to gush forth, and we will do as you did, full of hope in the work of God.
The sanctuary of Lourdes never forgets that it continues to flourish today because of the unexpected encounter between Mary and Bernadette: two young women who welcomed, in the poverty of their hearts, the Breath of a new life.
Father André Cabes Rector of the Sanctuary ND Lourdes

- 6 - SAINT BERNADETTE HONOURED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
The path of Bernadette that leads to the nearby village of Bartrès (the village where she lived before the Apparitions and where she looked after the sheep) will be made more accessible.
The church of Saint Bernadette, inaugurated in 1988, needs complete reno- vation: the work will consist in particular of creating a more modular space in the church. Where previously the church could be divided into two separate spaces, the new design will allow for a number of different arrangements which can cater for a few hundred or for several thousands of pilgrims. SANCTUAIRE An annual calendar highlights the important dates in Bernadette's life, allowing pilgrims to obtain the indulgence bestowed this year.
A new liturgy, "From the mud flows the spring", evokes the discovery of the spring by Bernadette and which also symbolises her journey, from the misery of the Cachot to the maternal grace of the Virgin Mary.
A approach to pilgrimage offered over the course of two days for a better understanding of the life and spirituality of Bernadette (accompanied visits, conferences, sacraments, processions ...).
In addition, the Sanctuary of Lourdes is associated with two wonderful cultural projects that highlight the life and the message of the little girl from Lourdes who became a saint: - The musical "Bernadette of Lourdes", in residence in Lourdes for several months. A magnificent saga that combines the talent of its creators (music by Grégoire, di- rection by Serge Denoncourt, lyrics by Lionel Florence and Patrice Guirao) with in- credible historical accuracy to offer an unprecedented encounter with the message of Lourdes. - In May, national cinema release of the film "Lourdes", directed by Thierry Demaizière and Alban Teurlai. This documentary aims to give the starring role to the sick and vulnerable pilgrims, to try to understand why, like Bernadette, "they are attracted to the Grotto".

Pilgrimage directors are urged to please reg- ister the bishops participating in the different liturgical offices using OPAL. It would also be very useful if you could indicate which lan- guages the bishop speaks fluently.
Some bishops have asked about the robes they should wear when participating in the different celebrations. During the Eucharistic procession, all participating bishops wear the Alb and Cope. During the Torchlight Marian procession, bishops are invited to wear the piped cassock or the Alb.
