Collected water from Lourdes

Today I collected the water of Lourdes. I collected the Virgin Mary shaped container and filled it with the holy pure water of Lourdes.  They spoke to us about a famous quote St Bernadette said “One must have faith and pray; the water will have virtue without faith.” I think this is a beautiful quote showing that the water will only work with your belief. The stream of water was found by St Bernadette while she had seen Our Lady of Lourdes (Mary). 

Many people have said that when they bathed in the water of Lourdes they had been healed. It was lovely to see that it is free to receive the water of Lourdes. This has strengthened my faith in God as this water has made miracles happen. I believe this site is very important for pilgrims as this is where St Bernadette saw Mary and there will be forever a connection with the place. I have learnt that Mary is the mother of the Church and this has been taught by the Catholic teachings.  I have learnt that Mary is the virgin mother of God. This is taught by the Catholic Church.
