New prayer cards of Our Lady of Lourdes
| Dear Friend,
On February 11, the Church commemorates Our Lady of Lourdes and her apparitions in 1858 to St. Bernadette—a young peasant girl—at a quiet grotto in Lourdes, France.
Over the course of these apparitions, the Blessed Virgin Mary asked Bernadette to dig into the earth nearby, where a spring emerged—a spring that has since become a source of healing and hope for countless pilgrims. After careful investigation, the Catholic Church officially approved devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes in 1862, and the site has remained a place of prayer and pilgrimage ever since.
Even today, the waters of Lourdes continue to bear witness to God's grace, with the most recent approved miracle dating back to a healing that occurred in 2009 and was formally recognized by the Church in 2025. When you support our mission today, we will send you these new prayer cards of Our Lady of Lourdes. |  | | MAKE A GIFT | | During her apparitions to St. Bernadette, our Lady called the faithful to prayer, especially for the conversion of sinners, and revealed her identity with profound words: "I am the Immaculate Conception." This message continues to draw hearts to Lourdes today, where nearly six million pilgrims journey each year in hope and faith.
Through these visits, hundreds of healings and miracles have been reported, offering powerful testimony to God's mercy at work through the intercession of the Blessed Mother. If you are inclined to support the mission of Word on Fire, kindly make a gift today. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us!
God bless you,
