FOR OUR LADY OF LOURDES



FOR OUR LADY OF LOURDES[1]

“Blessed are they who have not seen ...”[2]
but who have sought
on mountain paths
your beauty poised
above a winter rose.

“Blessed are they ...”
for life shall be for them
this only: your name
and the fair music of your smile.

Sister M Julian RSM
 In: The Refuge of Beauty.  1954



[1] Lourdes, France, is a place of pilgrimage where, according to Catholic Church teaching, in 1858 the Blessed Virgin appeared  to St Bernadette Soubirous on eighteen occasions
[2] John XX:29
