Prayer to St Bernadette
St Bernadette, pure and simple child,
you who were privileged to behold
the beauty of Mary Immaculate
and to be the recipient of her confidence
eighteen times at Lourdes;
you who did desire from then on
to hide yourself in the cloister of Nevers
and there live and die as a victim of sinners,
obtain for us that spirit of purity,
which will lead us also to the glorious vision of God
and of Mary in Heaven. Amen.

"Man is made in the image and likeness of God."
Every person with whom I come in contact is not
only going to tell me something of God,
but is going to reveal something of God's love for me.

I like to think that the affection another shows
to me is a special word of love from God.
It is as if every person who shows affection for me
is in some way transmitting God's love to me.

(Cardinal Basil Hume, from The Mystery of Love, 2004.)
