Historical background from Wikipedia:
"...the Virgin Mary appeared to Maria Bernada Sobirós (in her native Occitan language) on a total of eighteen occasions at Lourdes (Lorda in her local Occitan language). Lourdes has become a major place of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and of miraculous healings. The 150th Jubilee of the first apparition took place on 11 February 2008 with an outdoor Mass attended by approximately 45,000 pilgrims.
"In the evening of February 11, 1858, a young Roman Catholic girl, Bernadette, went to fetch some firewood with her sister and another companion when a Lady who was indescribably beautiful appeared to her at the Massabielle grotto. Although the Lady did not tell Bernadette her name when asked at first, she told her to return to the grotto. On subsequent visits, the Lady revealed herself to be the 'Immaculate Conception'.
"This was a reference to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception which had been defined only four years earlier in 1854 by Pope Pius IX, stating that the Virgin Mary herself had been conceived without sin. Bernadette, having only a rudimentary knowledge of the Catholic faith, did not understand what this meant but she reported it to her parish priest, Father Peyremale. He, though initially very skeptical of Bernadette's claims, became convinced when he heard this because he knew the young girl had no knowledge of the doctrine.
"The Lady also told Bernadette to dig in the ground at a certain spot and to drink from the small spring of water that began to bubble up. Almost immediately cures were reported from drinking the water. Today thousands of gallons of water gush from the source of the spring, and pilgrims are able to bathe in it. Countless purported miracle cures have been documented there, from the healing of nervous disorders and cancers to cases of paralysis and even of blindness. During the Apparitions, Bernadette Soubirous prayed the Rosary. Pope John Paul II wrote: 'The Rosary of the Virgin Mary [is] a prayer of great significance, destined to bring forth a harvest of holiness'."

Mi manca tanto Lourdes. Sono una Hospitaliere sofferente di cuore. Ho sempre guidato la processione serale e mi manca molto la Madonnina di Lourdes. Il mio servizio nella Grotta delle apparizioni. Questa musica con questo canto mi rimette al mondo. Ti prego Santa Madre fammi tornare da TE anche per una sola settimana. Grazie di ❤️ AMEM

Thank you so much Father Marcel. Could you please tell me who is singing so beautifully (13.54)? It touched me to the core when I visited Lourdes a few weeks ago and I am so grateful I found your video so I can listen to it again and again.

[@FatherJMarcelPortelli]

I'm very glad you enjoyed the video, and that it reminds you of your pilgrimage. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of the musicians, but they are all arranged by the basilica authorities. Please see my other videos of Lourdes and Fatima. They also contain beautiful images and music.

Wow! It's like when the Israelites carry the Ark of the Covenant in the O.T.

[@FatherJMarcelPortelli]

There might be more similarities than you think! Scripture says that the ark of the old covenant was specified by God and safely carried the stone tablets of the 10 commandments. The glory cloud of the Lord overshadowed it wherever it went. Likewise, Mary was selected by God and overshadowed by the Holy Spirit. She carried in her womb not the written word of God, but the Divine Word of God, Jesus Christ, in the incarnate Second Person of the Holy Trinity. Jesus "IS" the new covenant and Mary is His ark. In the ark of the old covenant, God came to His people with a spiritual presence, but in Mary, who is the ark of the new covenant, God comes to dwell with his people not only spiritually but physically. This is why one of Mary's titles (as in the Litany of Loreto) is "Ark of the Covenant," referring to the new covenant of the New Testament.
