The Little Visionary: Bernadette of Lourdes

Bernadette Soubirous

In a humble village in the shadow of the Pyrenees in 1858, an adventure took place that still captivates believers today. It's the story of Bernadette Soubirous, the young peasant girl whose miraculous visions changed Lourdes - and the world - forever. 

This tale is now brought to life by The Merry Beggars’ The Saints. This dramatic audio performance peeks into the grotto with Bernadette to witness the mysterious apparition she called “The Lady.” The mission Bernadette receives challenges her in unimaginable ways as she strives to deliver the message of The Immaculate Conception. 

A Lasting Example

Bernadette’s prayer and steadfastness make her a truly timeless example of faith and courage. Yet even after the apparitions concluded, Bernadette's journey didn't end. She joined the Sisters of Charity of Nevers, taking vows as a religious sister. There she humbly spent the rest of her life, caring little for the fame that her visions brought her. She left behind her a legacy of heroic virtue crowned by her canonization in 1933. 

Visions and Lessons

The Saints: Bernadette of Lourdes asks us to consider the ways in which we respond to God's call. Bernadette’s faithfulness makes us examine the way we all live and believe.
