Lourdes Apparitions... continued from last Sunday The 13th appearance (2 March) The lady commanded Soubirous: "Go, tell the priests to come here in procession and to build a chapel here. Accompanied by her two aunts, Soubirous went to ask Father Peyramale; he forbade her to go to the grotto, and dismissed her. Peyramale had ordered the priests to have nothing to do with the grotto, for it was the general practice of the clergy to discourage religious Visionaries. Soubirous was determined and returned with one of the priest's friends to ask again. After Soubirous was questioned before the parish clergy and dismissed, the parish priests could not agree on what course to take. The 14th appearance (3 March) Previously, Father Peyramale had told Soubirous that the requests for the procession and chapel could not be fulfilled unless and until the lady's name was known. On this occasion, Soubirous asked for the lady's name; according to Soubirous, the lady only smiled. The 15th appearance (4 March) Over 9,000 people were present. The third time I went to see M. le Curé, to tell him that a Lady had ordered me to go and say to the priests that they were to have a chapel built there, he looked at me for a moment, and then he said to me in a rather gruff tone, 'Who is this lady?' I answered that I did not know. Then he commissioned me to ask her name and to come and tell him. The next day when I arrived at the grotto I recited my rosary and then asked her, from M. le Curé what her name was, but all she did was to smile. When I got back I went to M. le Curé to tell him that I discharged his commission, and her only response was her smile; then he said she was laughing at me and that I would do well not to go to her again. But, I could not help going. I came back for a fortnight. The vision appeared every day, except one Monday [22 February] and one Friday [26 February]. She re-peated to me several times that I was to tell the priests they were to build a Chapel there, and I was to go to the fountain to wash, and that I was to pray for sinners. During this fortnight, she told me three secrets which she forbade me to tell anyone. I have been faith-ful until now. The 16th appearance (25 March)
Our Lady of Lourdes: Mary appearing at Lourdes with rosary beads. The words on her halo are: French: Je suis l'Imma-culée conception (I Am the Immaculate Conception). I went every day for a fortnight, and each day I asked her who she was–and this petition always made her smile. After the fortnight I asked her three times consecutively. She always smiled. At last I tried for the fourth time. She stopped smiling. With her arms down, she raised her eyes to heaven and then, folding her hands over her breast she said, "I am the Immaculate Conception." Then I went back to M. le Curé to tell him that she had said she was the Immaculate Con-ception, and he asked was I absolutely certain. I said yes, and so as not to forget the words, I had repeated them all the way home. Peyramale decided to go to Tarbes to visit the bishop. The bishop determined that Peyramale should remain
away from the grotto. April 1858 The 17th appearance (7 April) Dr. Pierre Romaine Dozous, the town physician, originally watched the apparitions from a skeptical viewpoint. He believed Soubirous, whom he knew well, was in her right mind aside from the apparitions. He reported: Bernadette seemed to be even more absorbed than usual in the Appearance upon which her gaze was riveted. I witnessed, as did also every one else there present, the fact which I am about to narrate. She was on her knees saying with fervent devotion the prayers of her Rosary which she held in her left hand while in her right was a large blessed candle, alight. The child was just begin-ning to make the usual ascent on her knees when suddenly she stopped and, her right hand joining her left, the flame of the big can-dle passed between the fingers of the latter.

FEBRUARY 12, 2017 Scripture Reflection Wisdom literature (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, Wisdom, and Sirach) is a collection of texts that present God’s revelation not primarily in historical events but in the ordinariness of life. The goal of such wis-dom is practical. How are we to live, love, and prosper in the face of the challenges of life? Jewish Wisdom theology held that God was the prime author of ordered creation, so fear of the Lord was the beginning of wisdom. The eyes of God look on the righteous with pleasure, just as the right-eous look to God in fidelity. All have been given freedom of choice. It is up to us to use it wisely. Although Jesus’ teaching was based on the common tra-dition of Israel, his interpretations were so unprecedented that some accused him of having rejected that tradition. The contrast that Jesus sets up is not between himself and the law but between his interpretation of the law and that of the scribes and Pharisees. He criticizes them for insisting on the minutiae of the law at the expense of the righteous-ness that is at its heart. Jesus demands much more than mere external conformity; Jesus calls for radical commit-ment. Jesus offers a critical insight into his entire mission. Al-though he is speaking to the disciples, it is clear that he is also addressing the scribes and Pharisees. The issue in dispute is the interpretation of the Law, Jesus’ repetition of the phrase “you have heard it said . . . but I say to you” un-derlines the authority of his teaching and the new under-standing that he gives to each Law that he quotes. He gives six reinterpretations of scripture that address murder, adul-tery, divorce, the taking of oaths, retaliation and treatment of the enemy. Those who hear his Word are challenged to live fully by living in the deep spirit of the law, not merely according to its literal meaning. This choice is the path to the kingdom of Heaven. • What life choices do you find affected by Jesus’ Reinterpretation of murder, adultery, divorce, the taking of oaths, retaliation, and treatment of the enemy?

Liturgical Reflection… In the revised Order of Celebrating Matrimony (2016), the Church states that God has raised the indissoluble conjugal contract between husband and wife to the dignity of a Sacrament so that it might signify more clearly and represent more easily the model of Christ’s own nuptial covenant with the Church. Christ is the Bridegroom and we, the Church, are his Bride. By the Sacrifice on Calvary, this covenant can never be broken. Man and woman in the Sacrament of Matrimony enflesh the divine relationship between Christ and the people of God.

An ecumenical worship service celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, which is to be held at 2 pm on Sunday, February 26, 2017 at First Lutheran Church in Altoona, PA (1401 12th Ave, Altoona PA). A highlight of this service is that we will have Bishop Donald McCoid (formerly Bishop of Pittsburgh and surrounding area) as our preacher and speaker. Bishop McCoid has recently retired as the Ecu-menical Executive for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, who was instrumental in the creation of the ecumenical document “Declaration On the Way.” This document collects the 32 points of agreement on ministry, mission, and Eucharist where Lutherans and Catholics agree. During the service, Bishop Michael Rhyne of the Alle-gheny Lutheran Synod, and Bishop Mark Bartchak will proclaim to-gether these points of agreement. All are encouraged to participate in this historic celebration. All are invited
Lourdes Apparitions…(cont’d from page 2) Though fanned by a fairly strong breeze, the flame produced no effect upon the skin which it was touching. Astonished at this strange fact, I forbade anyone there to interfere, and taking my watch in my hand, I studied the phenomenon attentively for a quarter of an hour. At the end of this time Bernadette, still in her ecstasy, advanced to the upper part of the Grotto, separating her hands. The flame thus ceased to touch her left hand. Bernadette finished her prayer and the splendour of the transfiguration left her face. She rose and was about to quit the Grotto when I asked her to show me her left hand. I examined it most carefully, but could not find the least trace of burning anywhere upon it. I then asked the person who was holding the candle to light it again and give it to me. I put it several times in succession under Bernadette's left hand but she drew it away quickly, saying 'You are burning me!'. I record this fact just as I have seen it without attempting to explain it. Many persons who were present at the time can confirm what I have said. On 8 June 1858, the mayor of Lourdes barricaded the grotto and stationed guards to prevent public access. Visitors were fined for kneeling near the grotto or talking about the grotto. July 1858 The 18th appearance (16 July) This was the final appearance. Because the grotto was barricaded by the local government, Soubirous knelt outside the fence by the riverbank. "I thought I was at the Grotto, at the same distance as I was the other times. All I saw was Our Lady ... She was more beau-tiful than ever." Later developments The grotto reopened to the public in October 1858 by order of Emperor Louis Napoleon III. Soubirous received no further apparitions after the 18th appearance (on 16 July 1858), and she did not feel any desire to visit the grotto afterwards. The people, however, kept on visiting. In 1866, Soubirous left Lourdes to join a religious order. Several churches were eventually built at Lourdes, including the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes and the Basilica of St. Pius X. Soubirous was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church in 1933. Her Feast Day is celebrated on April 16; in France and Canada, it is celebrated on February 18.
