St Bernadette Quotes

I stopped in St. Bernadette's Cemetery one of my favorite places... The trunks of six giant oaks rise like columns supporting a ceiling formed by their interlocking crowns. In the quiet space below, is laid out an aisle similar to those in any library. The gravestones are like rows of books bearing the names of those whose names have been blotted from the pages of life; who have been forgotten elsewhere but are remembered here.

In a vivid parable to Soeur Philippine Molinéry, Bernadette asks, "What do you do with a broom when you're done sweeping?" Soeur Philippine got surprised and answered, "What kind of a Question is that?" "Yes, I am asking you where you put it when you are done with it? "'....In a corner behind the door.' Then gleefully Bernadette said, "Well, I was like a broomstick for the Blessed Virgin; when she no longer needed me, she put me in my place behind the door.' And with a clap of her hands, she added, "Here I am and here I'll stay." "Both her voice and gesture were very happy," the witness went on to say.

More souls are released by the Mass than any other means. St. Jerome said that "for every Mass devoutly celebrated, many souls leave Purgatory and fly to Heaven". St. Bernadette, who had a great devotion for the holy souls, would tell her fellow religious sisters "I have heard Mass for the souls in Purgatory: nothing but the Precious Blood of Jesus applied for them, can liberate them". St. John Vianney (the Curé d’Ars) emphasized that the Mass is greater than any works preformed, "All good works taken together cannot equal the value of one Holy Mass; because they are the works of men, whereas Holy Mass is the work of God." The Mass is the most effective way to help the holy souls in Purgatory.

Affectionately known as America’s Maryland Grotto, it is administered by Mount St. Mary’s University. This holy site, predating the famous basilica in Lourdes, France, has been a destination for pilgrims since 1805. Visitors are drawn to its serene atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and the replica of the grotto where the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette. The stunning views of the Cumberland Valley provide a breathtaking backdrop for reflection. More than just a monument, it is a living center of faith, offering daily Mass and opportunities for spiritual solace, making it a unique treasure of American Catholic heritage.，NDOMU毕业证学历认证, 马里兰圣母大学本科毕业证, 学历证书!NDOMU学历证书马里兰圣母大学学历证书NDOMU假文凭, 网络办理NDOMU毕业证-马里兰圣母大学毕业证书-学位证书, 办理美国Notre Dame of Maryland University本科学历, 最爱-美国-NDOMU毕业证书样板, 高仿马里兰圣母大学文凭, 申请学校!Notre Dame of Maryland University成绩单马里兰圣母大学成绩单Notre Dame of Maryland University改成绩, NDOMU毕业证怎么办理-加钱加急
