On December 8, 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in the apostolic constitution Ineffabilis Deus. A little more than three years later, on February 11, 1858, a young lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous. This began a series of visions. During the apparition on March 25, the lady identified herself with the words: “I am the Immaculate Conception.”
Bernadette was a sickly child of poor parents. Their practice of the Catholic faith was scarcely more than lukewarm. Bernadette could pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Creed. She also knew the prayer of the Miraculous Medal: “O Mary conceived without sin.”

During interrogations Bernadette gave an account of what she saw. It was “something white in the shape of a girl.” She used the word aquero, a dialect term meaning “this thing.” It was “a pretty young girl with a rosary over her arm.” Her white robe was encircled by a blue girdle. She wore a white veil. There was a yellow rose on each foot. A rosary was in her hand. Bernadette was also impressed by the fact that the lady did not use the informal form of address (tu), but the polite form (vous). The humble virgin appeared to a humble girl and treated her with dignity.

Through that humble girl, Mary revitalized and continues to revitalize the faith of millions of people. People began to flock to Lourdes from other parts of France and from all over the world. In 1862 Church authorities confirmed the authenticity of the apparitions and authorized the cult of Our Lady of Lourdes for the diocese. The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes became worldwide in 1907.

11 ta’ Frar hija t-Tifkira tal-Madonna ta’ Lourdes u Jum il-Morda

Fis-sena 1858, erba’ snin wara l-proklamazzjoni tad-Domma tal-Kunċizzjoni, il-Madonna dehret ġewwa Lourdes fi Franza lil tfalja ta’ 14-il sena, illum qaddisa, Bernadette Soubirous. Mill-11 ta’ Frar sas-16 ta’ Lulju 1858 il-Madonna dehret 18-il darba fil-vilaġġ ta’ Lourdes li jinsab fin-nofsinhar ta’ Franza fil-Hautes-Pyrenees.
Il-Madonna dehret dejjem b’libsa bajda b’ċintorin ċelesti u bil-ward b’kulur id-deheb fuq saqajha t-tnejn u b’kuruna f’idha. Fit-18 ta’ Jannar tal-1860 dawn id-dehriet ġew rikonoxxuti mill-Isqof tal-post, ta’ Tarbes, Monsinjur Laurence.
Il-Papa Beatu Piju IX approva d-dehriet fl-1862. Il-Papa Ljun XIII kiteb l-Ittra Appostolika Parte Humanae Generi fl-okkażjoni tad-dedikazzjoni tal-Katidral il-ġdid ġewwa Lourdes fl-1879. Il-Papa San Piju X waqqaf il-festa tal-Madonna ta’ Lourdes. Il-Papa Piju XI ibbeatifika lil Bernadette Soubirous fl-14 ta’ Gunju 1925 u għamilha qaddisa fit-8 ta’ Diċembru 1933. Il-Papa Piju XII semma l-Madonna ta’ Lourdes fl-enċiklika tiegħu tal-1954 Fulgens Corona. Il-Papa San Ġwanni Pawlu II żar dan il-post qaddis tliet darbiet u l-Papa Benedittu XVI mar Lourdes fil-15 ta’ Settembru 2008 fl-okkazjoni tal-150 sena tad-dehriet.
Id-dehriet ġraw fil-11, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 27 u 28 ta’ Frar u fl-1, 2, 3, 4 u 25 ta’ Marzu, fis-7 ta’ April u fis-16 ta’ Lulju.
L-ewwel dehra tkun proprju l-Ħamis 11 ta’ Frar, ta’ qabel Ras ir-Randan tal-1858. Dakinhar Bernadette (isem proprju Marie-Bernarde) flimkien ma’ oħtha u ħabiba, marret tiġbor ftit zkuk u ħatab minn ħdejn il-għar ta’ Massabielle (Tuta de Massavielha) ftit ‘il barra minn Lourdes biex tkun tista’ tbigħhom u tixtri ftit ħobż. Waqt li kienet waħeda dehritilha l-Madonna fil-blat bħala mara sabiħa. 
Fit-tieni dehra Bernadette wara li nsistiet ħafna ma’ ommha Louise li għandha terġa’ tmur, ħadet ftit ilma mbierek mill-knisja biex tixħtu lill-Madonna ħalli tivverifika li din id-dehra kienet verament ġejja minn Alla. 
Fit-tielet dehra l-Madonna talbet lit-tfalja biex tiġi fil-għar ta’ Massabielle għal 15-il ġurnata.
Fir-raba’ dehra t-tfajla ħadet ukoll lil ommha, żewġ zijiet u n-nanna tagħha. 
Fil-ħames dehra kien hemm preżenti tletin persuna. 
Fis-sitt dehra kien hemm mal-mitt persuna preżenti u l-Madonna talbet lit-tfalja biex titlob għall-midinbin. 
Fis-seba’ dehra kien mal-150 persuna preżenti u dakinhar il-Madonna qalet sigriet lil Bernadette. 
Fit-tmien dehra kien hemm mal-250 persuna preżenti u l-messaġġ tal-Madonna kien: penitenza, penitenza, penitena u biex titlob għall-midinbin u tbus il-ħamrija bħala penitenza għall-midinbin.
Fid-disa’ dehra l-Madonna talbet lil Bernadette biex tixrob l-ilma mill-ħamrija u tiekol il-ħaxix fl-art.
Fl-għaxar dehra kienu preżenti madwar 800 ruħ u fil-ħdax-il dehra kien hemm ‘il fuq minn elf persuna. 
Fit-tnax-il dehra kien hemm prezenti kważi elf u ħames mitt ruħ fejn omm li kienet qed tistenna tarbija u li kienet maħkuma minn paraliżi f’idejha ġiet imfejqa mill-ilma tal-għar ta’ Massabielle fejn kienet tidher il-Madonna.
Fit-tlettax-il dehra l-Madonna ordnat lit-tfajla tgħid lis-saċerdoti biex jiġu hemmhekk f’purċissjoni u jibnulha kappella imma l-qassis Abbè Dominique Peyramale ma emminix. 
Fl-erbatax-il dehra l-Madonna tbissmet lil Bernadette. 
Fil-ħmistax-il dehra kien hemm mad-disat elef persuna u l-Madonna reġgħet tbissmet lil Bernadette. 
Is-sittax-il dehra damet madwar siegħa u dakinhar il-Madonna qaltilha li hi l-Immakulata Kunċizzjoni.
It-tfajla marret tiġri tgħid dan l-isem lill-kappillan. 
Fis-sbatax-il dehra t-Tabib Pierre Romaine Dozous kien konvint li verament Bernadette kellha dawn id-dehriet tal-Madonna.
Fl-aħħar dehra, minħabba li s-Sindku ta’ Lourdes għalaq l-aċċess għall-grotta tal-Madonna, Bernadette rat ukoll il-Madonna minkejja li kienet għarkupptejja ‘l barra mill-grotta.
Lourdes illum
Hu stmat li mal-200 miljun pellegrin marru Lourdes sa mis-sena 1860. Illum ġewwa Lourdes issib 22 knisja jew kappella.
Fost postijiet qaddisa nsibu l-knisja dedikata lill-Qalb ta’ Ġesù fejn tgħammdet Bernadette fid-9 ta’ Jannar 1844; il-grotta ta’ Massabielle fejn għal 18-il darba l-Madonna dehret lil Bernadette, is-Santwarju ta’ Lourdes li fih il-Bażilika tal-Immakulata, il-kripta u l-Bażilika tar-Rużarju. Insibu ukoll il-Bażilika Santa Bernadette kif ukoll d-dar fejn twieldet fis-7 ta’ Jannar 1844.
Illum wieħed jista’ ukoll jara l-kapulavur ta’ możajċi magħmula taħt id-direzzoni ta’ Monsinjur Rupnik. Jingħad li nsibu mas-7,000 każ ta’ mirakli ta’ fejqan bl-interċessjoni tal-Madonna ta’ Lourdes.
Lourdes jibqa’ il-post tal-pellegrinaġġi li l-iktar jiġbed lejh pellegrini matul is-sena kollha. Madwar sitt miljun ruħ fis-sena.
