Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes - Feb 11th

Greetings in Jesus and Mary......

Tomorrow is a great feast. Our Lady came to ask for praying of the Rosary and penance and to declare that She is ....The Immaculate Conception! The messages we can take away from this visit are many but my favorite is the fact that Our Lady came and claimed: "I am the Immaculate Conception". This is still a controversial topic among both Catholic and Protestants alike - even though it is a dogma of our faith and therefore - one is obliged to believe it. In light of the recent declarations from Rome that we are NOT to call Our Mother - Co-Redemptrix or Mediatrix of All Graces, I am shocked that they did not add this title in there as well. With the modernists pushing for evolution making Adam and Eve a likely myth .....we are left hanging with the thought...WOW, if there was no Adam and Eve as stated in Scripture (that now needs to be rewritten) THEN we were NOT born with Original Sin.  SSSOOO, my question is....how can Our Blessed Mother come and state....."I Am The Immaculate Conception".......if in their minds.....we were ALL born immaculately conceived? (PS...if those in charge in Rome who took these titles away from Our Mother BELIEVED THAT SHE WAS THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION ---- they would NEVER take away these titles of Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of All Graces!  ...my opinion)

In 1858, in the grotto of Massabielle, near Lourdes in southern France, Our Lady appeared 18 times to Bernadette Soubirous, a young peasant girl, starting on Feb. 11 through July 16th (Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel). She began by praying the Rosary with Bernadette (only Bernadette prayed the Hail Marys). Our Lady had asked that penance be done and told Bernadette that She did not promise her happiness in this life – only in the next. She told her to drink from a fountain in the grotto, where we now have a spring of miraculous water for all the Church to benefit (AND HELP TO BELIEVE).

Our Lady revealed Herself as the Immaculate Conception on March 25th (Feast of the Annunciation) and asked that a chapel be built on the site of the vision. The dogma of the Immaculate Conception had just been given to the Church by Pope Pius IX just four years prior in 1854. We may conclude that this apparition helped the skeptical faithful (and/or priests and religious) to accept the True Teachings of Mother Church.....and we can turn to this time in history (as at Fatima) to listen to Our Good Mother and get catechized! And if down through history, Rome decides to change Church Teachings and Tradition......WE MUST REMAIN FAITHFUL...because God is the same yesterday, today and forever.

It is very feasible that controversy ensued even among the so called "scholars" of the Roman Catholic Church. It is exciting that Our Lady had to come and straighten them out. Also, in order for all to believe, God permitted a miraculous spring in which many are healed.

Let us not forget to pray our daily Rosaries and offer much reparation for the sins of the world - especially for abortions and for all crimes committed everywhere inside and outside the Church. Our Lady needs our prayers and sacrifices to help Her win souls for Christ and His Church. Let us not be indifferent to Her plea and may we not fail Her and truly strive to be Her devoted children.

Please pray for the leadership in the Church from the Pope on down. May they be given the grace to hold to the Truth and to pass it down through the ages.
