"In these days of anxiety, Lourdes has not let us down. Bernadette, like her fellow saint Thérèse of Lisieux, does in fact 'spend her heaven doing good on earth'....
This very beautiful book wants to continue the adventure: to visit Lourdes through what has been said or written since the time of the apparitions, augmented by magnificent photos by a photographer in love with the place, Sophie Delay.
When you read it and contemplate the images, I invite you to hold this book in your hands as if it were a little piece of that land visited by heaven. From page to page, I invite you to let yourself be surprised, to whisper a Hail Mary, to let yourself be moved, or to perceive your heart beating more joyously. Perhaps you will feel the stirrings of a new desire to go there, to see ... and all the rest will be grace."
