VATICAN - The Month of Mary - «Qué Soy Era Immaculada Councepciou»:
The 18 Apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Lourdes in 1858 (5)

Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - Saturday 20 February 1858:

In silence, 5th Apparition. “With her mother, her aunt Basila, after Mass Bernadette went down to the Grotta. This time there are about thirty witnesses. Bernadette reached the grotto of Massabielle about 6.30 in the morning. After forty minutes of ecstasy, Bernadette confided to her earthly mother that the good Lady “taught her a new prayer word by word ”, a prayer which she recited every day for the rest of her life but never made known to others.

Some of those present at the apparitions said Bernadette appeared filled with joy and fear at the same time; her body appeared to be drawn forwards and upwards; her joined hands reached upwards; her face was blue and tense; her eyes were swollen and filled with tears which ran down her face, tears very different from those we weep, tears which flowed from pure sorrow”.

(J.M.) (Agenzia Fides 7/5/2007, righe 11, parole 170)
