February 11, 2025, Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, Virgin, Holy Rosary (Sorrowful Mysteries)
02/11/25 • 31 min
Friends of the Rosary,
Today, February 11, we celebrate the Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes, with her message of calling to personal conversion, prayer, and charity.
On a day like this 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to fourteen-year-old Marie Bernade Soubirous, St. Bernadette.
Between February 11 and July 16, the Immaculata appeared eighteen times and showed herself to St. Bernadette in the hollow of the rock at Lourdes, in the south of France.
On March 25, she said to her:"I am the Immaculate Conception."
Since then, Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage, and many cures and conversions have taken place.
On her apparition, the Immaculate Conception was youthful and clothed in a pure white gown and mantle with an azure blue girdle. A golden rose adorned each of her bare feet.
On her first apparition, February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin asked the girl to make the sign of the Cross and say the rosary with her. Bernadette saw her take the rosary hanging from her arms into her hands. This was repeated in subsequent apparitions.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!

February 10, 2025, Memorial of St. Scholastica, Virgin, Holy Rosary (Joyful Mysteries)
Friends of the Rosary,
Today, February 10, the Catholic Church honors St. Scholastica (480-547), a nun who was the twin sister of St. Benedict, the “father of monasticism” in Western Europe.
The twins’ mother died at their birth, around 480, in Umbria, Italy,
Under Benedict’s direction, Scholastica founded a community of nuns near the great Benedictine monastery Monte Cassino.
Inspired by Benedict’s teaching, his sister devoted her life to seeking and serving God. Both dedicated themselves to God from early youth. She died in 547, and tradition holds that her soul ascended to heaven in the form of a dove at her death.
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
St. Scholastica, Pray for Us!

February 12, 2025, Holy Rosary (Glorious Mysteries)
Friends of the Rosary,
Four years after the promulgation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX (1854), the Blessed Virgin appeared eighteen times to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858 in Lourdes, France.
On the feast of the Annunciation, March 25, the Most Holy Virgin announced her name,"I am the Immaculate Conception."
Soon, a Shrine was erected, and since that time, countless pilgrims visit every year Lourdes, one of the most important "places of grace" in Christendom.
In Lourdes, pilgrims open their hearts to the presence of the Mother and are captivated by the mystery of the Son.
The Marian apparitions have encouraged countless souls to follow a path of conversion and personal sanctification.
Pope Benedict XVI said,“The message which Our Lady still offers at Lourdes recalls the words Jesus said at the beginning of his public mission and that we hear so often in Lent: ‘Convert and believe in the Gospel, pray and do penance.”
Ave Maria!
Jesus, I Trust In You!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
