Bernadette of Lourdes (Soubirous)

How Happy My Soul

How happy my soul, good Mother, when I had the good fortune to gaze upon you!
How I love to recall the pleasant moments spent under your gaze, so full of kindness and mercy for us.

Yes, tender Mother, you stooped down to earth to appear to a mere child….
You, the Queen of heaven and earth, deigned to make use of the most fragile thing in the world’s eyes. Amen.
