On this date, 150 years ago, the Mother of God appeared to Bernadette in a grotto (cave) near Bernadette's home. This young French girl was chosen, although she was not wordly or intellectual, to bring Mary's message of prayer to the world. She was chosen because she was simple and loved God. Mary also asked Bernadette to dig in the ground near the grotto where a spring brought forth healing waters. Many have been physically healed, and, more importantly, millions have found spiritual healing. Today, millions travel to this site to find healing. Mary asked that a chapel be built in her honor . It's a good day for a family rosary! Mother of God, pray for us.
