Taking Our Place with Saint Bernadette and Our Lady of Lourdes

A simple definition of humility is knowing your place and taking your place. Our Blessed Lady knew her place and took her place every time and God raised Her up to place Her in the highest place in heaven. This same Woman has taken up her place on earth once again in the niche of the rock outside of Lourdes France. She was found there by a little girl, St. Bernadette on this very day in 1858. Since then millions upon millions have found her there IN THAT PLACE… and there they are healed in body and soul, as well as strengthened in faith, hope and charity… given courage to fight the battles of life. The grotto of Massabielle, has become a cave of refuge… a place of safety. To prove this... at one point the Lady in white seemed to change… as suddenly loud yells—belched from the nearby River Gave—broke the sacred silence of the cave of Massabielle. They “challenged, crossed, collided with one another, like the clamor of a brawling crowd.” … making for a cacophony. One voice, more furious than the rest, dominated them all and roared out: “Get out of here! Get out of here!” Yet, one glance from this Woman, this Virgin Queen, from her niche above the cave, a look of sovereign authority, reduced the invisible hellish mob of the river to silence. The demons were defeated in this head-on clash… they were forced to retreat… but they were not done with their evil deeds. The stage was set, it was the cave versus the flowing changing river, the Lady versus the world, the flesh, and the devil… with Bernadette in between.
