A visit to Lourdes with Fr Michael Liston - 5 February 2017 (SS102fm programme excerpt) (S07E12b)

The Story of LourdesFr Michael Liston makes a welcome return to SS102fm this week to reflect with us on the story of Lourdes ahead of the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes which is celebrated on 11th February.Fr Michael takes us through the story of Bernadette; the little French peasant girl through whom the world was to hear the message of Lourdes. The story of Lourdes is one of gentleness, friendship, wonder and a reminder to penance being a small part of it. It is a story of a parish response to an event out of the ordinary led by some of the youngsters - the poorest of the community - who led the way. People bring their pain and sufferings to Lourdes but yet it is a place of peace, friendship grounded in the original relationship between "It" and Bernadette. There is a huge opportunity to hear afresh the story of our faith in a new way.Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
