Yesterday was a beautiful, sunny day in the 70s. It's hard to believe, especially when friends and family in New England are getting tons of snow and bitter cold temps right now. Stay warm and safe up there!
While my oldest daughter went to her soccer practice, I took my other children to the nearby park and snapped this picture of our cuties :) (My son was running around nearby somewhere.)
It was a fun park day, but the nice weather quickly changed to rainy and cold and in the 30s today! But, I'm not complaining :)
Today, February 11, is the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes.
I plan to let my children watch a great movie titled, Bernadette-The Princess of Lourdes. See below for an explanation from the CCC website about the graces this beautiful young girl received from God and our Blessed Mother in 1858...
BERNADETTE - THE PRINCESS OF LOURDES
It’s February 11, 1858. Three girls from Lourdes, France, gather firewood in front of a grotto. Suddenly one of them, Bernadette Soubirous, 14, drops to her knees, gazes ecstatically at something beautiful only she can see, and starts to pray. Soon the town buzzes: Has Bernadette, poor, sickly, and always behind in school, really seen a Lady from Heaven? The police chief is angry, the pastor busy, and the crowd amused, but Bernadette is calm and brave. Then a spring bubbles up from nowhere and withered arms and sightless eyes are cured. At last, the Lady tells Bernadette her name: “I am The Immaculate Conception.”
BERNADETTE, THE PRINCESS OF LOURDES, is the exciting true story of a visit by the Queen of Heaven that left all the world a source of health for body and soul.
Hope you are having a blessed week!
