St Bernadette (Patron for the Sick) – Rose Petal Prayer Card

Description

Saint Bernadette of Lourdes was a French peasant girl who is best known for her visions of the Virgin Mary in 1858 in Lourdes, France. At the age of 14, Bernadette experienced a series of apparitions in a grotto, during which the Virgin Mary identified herself as the Immaculate Conception. These visions led to the establishment of the Lourdes pilgrimage site, which has become a major destination for healing and spiritual renewal.

Bernadette’s humble and devout nature, combined with her unwavering faith, earned her canonization in 1933. She is celebrated as a model of humility and obedience, and her visions played a significant role in strengthening Catholic devotion to the Immaculate Conception. Her feast day is observed on April 16, and she is the patroness of Lourdes, the sick, and those seeking healing.

This handcrafted Prayer Petal Card is dedicated to St. Bernadette Soubirous, the humble visionary of Lourdes and patron saint of the sick. As a young girl from a poor family in France, St. Bernadette experienced visions of Our Lady in a grotto, where Mary revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception. From these apparitions came the miraculous spring at Lourdes, where countless pilgrims still visit today in hope of healing and grace.

Despite her own lifelong struggles with illness, St. Bernadette accepted her suffering with peace and trust in God’s will. Her life is a powerful witness to the grace found in humility, faith, and perseverance through pain.

Designed with a real red rose petal, this card symbolizes Bernadette’s quiet strength and deep connection to divine. It comes with a prayer card featuring a prayer—offering hope, peace, and comfort to those facing illness or caring for the sick.
