Publisher's Synopsis
The story of Bernadette Soubirous is one of hope, forgiveness, humility, perseverance, love, repentance and the boundless fountain spring that is God's mercy. Invaluable for the pilgrim.
Lourdes is like a field hospital is where the injured and the weary come to have their wounds washed and attended to and lives saved; where they come to encounter compassion and love after a phase of immense pain, uncertainty, near misses and anxiety; where they come to seek temporary refuge and rest so they can resume their journey towards safety, comfort and peace. The Holy Lourdes Sanctuary too has to be for you and me the field hospital of Our Lord Jesus Christ together with His Mother Our Blessed Lady. Here we all come and return to be healed of our ills both physical and spiritual. Our wandering from place to place on this earthly journey ought to lead us in the direction of the field hospital of our Lord Jesus Christ and his Mother, Our lady of Lourdes. For therein truly lies the heart of God's mercy.
