The Virgin Mary chose Bernadette Soubirousa simple and humble young woman, to appear to him in Lourdeson several occasions, in the year 1858. In fact, the Virgin appears to him as the Immaculate Conception. Some time later, Bernadette joined the Sisters of Charity of Nevers and put himself at the service of the poor and the sick. Despite being a poor young woman, after the Virgin Mary chose her among all the others, she knew how to make her poverty a true wealth: “This is enough for me… Only Jesus for wealth.” (Sister Bernadette).
In fact, among the Catholic prayers, many prayers to the Virgin of Lourdes can be found.

Prayer to Saint Bernadette Soubirous
“To put in your footsteps my steps too hesitant,
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.
They are for me a symbol of good sense as well as
with a spirit of poverty and simplicity.
You know well that, unfortunately, all this is missing.
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.
You were going to collect the firewood that turns into a flame
and brings people together by comforting them.
So that I too can warm those who seek,
be it smile or word or silence or support,
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.
And if they are too small, make me humble.
Let me walk knowing that I am limited,
with little steps, falls, and « get up again ».
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.
To continue Mary’s path of trust,
to discover the Living Water offered to the thirsty,
to attend the banquet to which Jesus invites us
to share his word and his bread,
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.
To go to the Father who waits for me and loves me,
to enter the party at the end of the road,
after having walked, carrying my joys, my sorrows,
asking you to give me your hand,
Please, Bernadette, lend me your clogs.”

“Yes, mother dear,
you have lowered yourself to earth to appear to a weak girl.
You, queen of heaven and earth,
You wanted to use what was most humble according to the world”.
Prayer of Saint Bernadette to Jesus
“O Jesus, give me, I beg of you, the bread of humility,
the bread of obedience,
charity bread,
the bread of strength to break my will and melt it into yours…
the bread of patience to endure the sorrows that my heart suffers…
the bread of not seeing but you alone in everything and always”
