These inspirational quotes by Bernadette de Soubirous will inspire humility and a great desire to become a Saint!

From February 11- July 16, 1858, a 14-year old French, undeducated young lady, was sent to fetch some firewood.

Accompanied by her friend and sister, they arrived at the grotto of Massabielle, where she had a vision of a “beautiful lady.”

No one else saw these visions. These visions continued until July 16, 1858 ,and the apparation of our Lady, came to be known as “Our Lady of Lourdes.”

Even though St. Bernadette had those apparitions, she did not see herself as a Saint. There is much we can emulate when it comes to her humility.

After the apparitions ended, she lived a hidden life and embraced the cross.

May these quotes inspire us also to embrace our cross and do God’s will.

Anyone who is not prepared to suffer all for the Beloved and to do his will in all things is not worthy of the sweet name of Friend, for here below, Love without suffering does not exist.”

~St. Bernadette Soubirous

~St. Bernadette Soubirous
