A SIMPLE AND TOUCHING STORY AS BEFITS THE PLACE,
By
This review is from: Lourdes Diary: Seven Days at the Grotto of Massabieille (Paperback)
James Martin, associate editor of America Magazine, manages without any sense of cramming to fit into the 65 brief pages of this small book the story of his first trip to Lourdes and the events of his week there, the history of Lourdes itself and of St. Bernadette Soubirous, and reflections about pilgrims and pilgrimages and the Knights of Malta with whom he traveled. It is a simple story told simply, eloquently, engagingly, with self-depreciating humor and obvious devotion. It is a good refresher if you have been there, a foretaste if you intend to go, and a hint of God's ever-present grace whatever your travel plans. I do believe I shall read his longer work, My Life with the Saints.

This review is from: Lourdes Diary: Seven Days at the Grotto of Massabieille (Paperback)
The author gives us the basic story of Bernadette and Lourdes, and how this site has been a place for people to meet God, and been a source of healing of all kinds for so many people in the last 150 years. The story of his first visit to Lourdes offers a more personal story of how a visit to Lourdes can affect people. Very moving!
