ST. BERNADETTE SOUBIROUS is a two-fold story: that of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes, France in 1858, as well as of the 14-year-old peasant girlâraised in dire poverty and unable to readâto whom Our Lady appeared. But more, it is also the story of St. Bernadetteâs hidden life as a seemingly ordinary nun in her convent at Nevers, where she reached such holiness that after her death, God saw fit to preserve her body incorruptâas it remains to this day! Beautifully set forth in this book are St. Bernadetteâs childhood and life at home, her characterâhonest, intelligent and straightforwardâher description of Our Lady, the events surrounding the 18 apparitions, the opposition of the civil authorities, and the shrine and miraculous spring at Lourdes. Also described are Bernadetteâs life in the convent, where she suffered a martyrdom in body and in soul.
