  • Carmelite Echoes in the Lourdes Grotto
    Carmelite echoes in the Lourdes Grotto Johan Bergström-Allen When the editor of Carmel in the World asked me to write an article about the link between Carmelite spirituality and Lourdes, the famous shrine of Our Lady in south-western France, I was very happy to do so because it’s a tremendously important place in my life. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone there on pilgrimage many times, including several visits in the Jubilee Year of 2008 which marks the 150th anniversary of Mary’s apparitions to Saint Bernadette Soubirous. Carmelite friar Fr. Tony Lester, O.Carm. preaching at the Grotto in Lourdes. But before I can tell you why I think there’s a strong link between the message of Lourdes and Carmelite spirituality, there’s something I feel I have to say first: I am not a big fan of apparitions generally. There, I feel better for writing that! Let me explain… When I was a teenager (all of a decade ago), I used to be very attracted by the extraordinary (even spooky) parts of our Catholic faith. Visions, weeping statues, saints who could reveal your past and your future, stigmata, Eucharistic miracles and so on – I was fascinated by it all. And when I first came to Lourdes aged thirteen I discovered all sorts of out-of-the-ordinary things to excite me: a vision story, miraculous healings, ‘holy’ water, and enough glow-in-the-dark crucifixes and tacky religious art to fill the town’s three basilicas and numerous chapels. There’s nothing wrong with piety, of course, but it needs to be balanced and sensible.

Now is a religious grotto. Location Lourdes, France Date 11 February 1858 Witness Saint Bernadette Soubirous Type Marian apparition Holy See approval 1862, during the pontificate of Pope Pius IX Shrine Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, Lourdes, France Our Lady of Lourdes is a title of the Blessed Virgin Mary invoked by Roman Catholics in honor of the Marian apparitions said to have occurred on numerous occasions in 1858 in the vicinity of Lourdes, France. The first of these is the apparition of 11 February 1858, when Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl, admitted to her mother that a "lady" spoke to her in the cave of Massabielle (a mile from the town) while she was gathering firewood with her sister and a friend.[1] Similar appearances of the "lady" were reported on seventeen further occasions that year. Bernadette Soubirous was later canonized as a Saint, and Roman Catholics and some Protestants believe her apparitions have been validated by the overwhelming popularity and testament of healings claimed to have taken place at the Lourdes water spring. In 1862, Pope Pius IX authorized Bishop Bertrand-Sévère Laurence to permit the veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Lourdes. This Marian title, Our Lady of Lourdes, has been widely copied and reproduced, often displayed in shrines or homes, most notably in garden landscapes.

  • The Expectation of the Church
    THE EXPECTATION OF THE CHURCH Brian Morris, O.P. ('JROM THE VANTAGE POINT of history, it is not difficult J to recognize the saints as instruments of Providence, raised up by God to fulfil some special mission or need. Just one hundred years ago-in 1858--two such providential figures were launched into careers which were to have profound significance for the Church in our day. One comes to mind almost immedi­ ately in this Lourdes centenary year : it is Bernadette, the little peasant girl, who started out one cold February morning on a lowly, routine errand of gathering firewood-only to be caught up in that providential series of adventures which is still echoing throughout the Christian world. Bernadette became the instru­ ment, the mouthpiece, of the Immaculate. In 1858, Lourdes came as an unmistakable, miracle-confirmed testimony of the super­ natural to a world beguiled by rationalism and materialism. It has remained in our day a constant re-affirmation of Christian hope: Mary's message, proclaimed and witnessed by the little shepherdess, will draw an estimated eight million pilgrims this year to the grotto of the apparitions. Bernardette's dramatic entrance onto the stage of history will be the subject of much comment this year. Less notice, per­ haps, will be taken of another beginning-the quiet inception of a second vital career, which occurred about two months after the last of the Lourdes apparitions. Among the young priests or­ dained that September, 1858, for the diocese of Treviso, Italy, was one named Joseph Sarto. Though he had proven himself an accomplished and brilliant seminarian, the young cleric showed unmistakably the characteristic traits of his peasant origins.

  • Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church John 19: 25-27
    1 JUNE 1, 2020 Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church John 19: 25-27 “MARY THE MOTHER OF THE CHURCH” It is providential that we start the reopening of the Church and the celebration of the Eucharist with today’s Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of the Church. By this, we are asking her intercession as we start to receive the Body of Christ in the Holy Mass. When the angel Gabriel declared that she would become the Mother of the Savior, Mary entrusted everything to God. From the conception, birth until Jesus’ death, Mary stood by her Son, supported Him all throughout and gave her life for others as example par excellence. She is the best description and face of humility, obedience, and a loving and dedicated mother. Our Church portrayed the Blessed Virgin Mary with the apostles and disciples who at the first Pentecost, joined in prayer with the first members of the Church. The Pentecost which we celebrated yesterday, is the birth of the Roman Catholic Church. It’s the Church’s birthday yesterday. “The title ‘Mother of the Church’ (Mater Ecclesiae) was applied to the mother of Jesus by Pope Paul VI in November 1964 at the close of the Second Vatican Council.
