More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong.
Corinthians 12:7-10

Bernadette's story - on the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
I took St. Bernadette's name for Confirmation and years later, my Rebecca did the same thing. She is one of the most overlooked Saints and offers, in her simplicity, great lessons about suffering, perseverance and faith.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. St. Bernadette, her humble and pure servant, pray for us and for all those who carry burdens of illness, poverty and suffering.
