Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
A meditation from St. Bernadette* & St. Maximillian Kolbe**

*The reflection from St. Bernadette's perspective is the author's creative take on what St. Bernadette may have said if "interviewed" about the apparitions, not actual words from St. Bernadette, herself.

**The article of St. Maximillian's thoughts can be found here: https://usgraceforce.com/st-maximillian-kolbe-nine-day-preparation-for-total-consecration/
