When authorities questioned her sincerity, Bernadette, at the Lady's word, dug a hole in the middle of a field while the crowd jeered, and within a day, a full spring began to flow from that very spot. Since then, these waters have given miraculous healings--both spiritual and physical--to many thousands of pilgrims in the little village of Lourdes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichly adorned throughout with full-color photographs and artwork, this book gathers together stories and meditations from great writers over the centuries who have been deeply touched by the grace of Our Lady of Lourdes--including poets, novelists and popes.
