BERNADETTE AND LOURDES

by Michel de Saint-Pierre ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 14, 1954

This is a very readable account of the visions of Bernadette at the cave near Lourdes and the excitement caused by her experiences, the investigations by the civil and ecclesiastical authorities, and the cures effected with many of the multitudes that have thronged to his noted shrine over the intervening years. This is of course a Catholic interpretation of the remarkable personality of Bernadette and the still more remarkable events which have taken place at Lourdes. But it is a non-controversial account of this striking phenomenon, with the essential facts presented within a brief compass. Recommended for Catholic readers and non-Catholic who are interested in the official Catholic interpretation.
