Today Is The Feast Day Of Saint Bernadette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                        Now, girls, I know it is just four days until the annual screening of "The Song Of Bernadette," and everyone in this house is excited, but today is the real thing--the actual Feast Day Of Saint Bernadette.

                          She died on this day, in 1879, which is 146 years ago today.  She was declared a saint on December 8, 1933, and her Feast Day was established as April 16.

                             Take a moment, and reflect, darlings, on how much Bernadette did and continues to do for us, and what she endured and suffered.  She is one of the most revered saints, and with good reason, not just because of Jennifer Jones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                 Pray for us, Bernadette.  Now, and at the hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                And Happy Feast Day, Bernadette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
