St Bernadette Soubirous had the privilege of being visited by Mary, the Mother of God the Son, on numerous occasions in in 1858 in Lourdes, France. A grotto sprang up where Mary told Bernadette to wash her face. Soon cures started to occur and the miraculous waters of Lourdes attracted people from all over the world to seek cures for their own ailments - and many were cured. Mary told Bernadette she was "The Immaculate Conception". Bernadette later joined the Sisters of Charity, of Nevers. She died at the age of 35 and today, you may view her incorrupt body. She was canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1933 and her feast days are February 18, and April 16.
