ROSARY – LOURDES WATER BLACK – Rosary Designed and Made in Italy – Water from Lourdes France
Lourdes water is water which flows from a spring in the Grotto of Massabielle in the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, France.
In 1858, the Virgin Mary appeared in Lourdes, France to a peasant girl named Bernadette. A miraculous spring burst forth from the place of the apparition, and people have been flocking to Lourdes for the water’s healing powers ever since. Our Lourdes rosary has a Silver Crucifix and Center. The centerpiece is clear on one side to show the holy water.
On 25th February 1858, during the ninth apparition, everything changed. Everything changed when Bernadette heard the Lady say, “Go and drink at the spring and wash yourself there…” And since that day, millions of pilgrims and visitors have come to Lourdes to drink and wash in this water, which has no therapeutic properties or specific properties. Bernadette Soubirous herself said, “We take the water like medicine… We must have faith, we must pray: this water will have no virtue without faith!” The popularity of Lourdes water is born of miracles, but it is not holy water: water from the Spring can only become holy through the action of a priest.
What is the blessing for the water of Lourdes?
Our Lady of Lourdes, heal us for the greater glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lady of Lourdes, heal the sick, convert sinners. Health of the sick, Help of the suffering, pray for us. Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.
