Saint Bernadette: Blessed Are the Righteous

by Barbara Yoffie, Chris Sharp (Illustrator)

Overview

Nobody could believe that St. Bernadette Soubirous, a French peasant girl with little education, saw visions of the Virgin Mary. But through her humility and dedication to prayer, the grotto where she encountered Mary soon became a place of miraculous healing. Many miracles still happen today! St. Bernadette's life of prayer and obedience inspires us to consider how humility and prayer helps us listen to God's voice in our lives.

Saints are real-life heroes of faith who inspire us by their virtues to become more like Christ. In the Saints and Me! series, these beautifully illustrated early-reader books tell the real stories of saints that come to life for children.
