Lourdes is undoubtedly the most important Marian pilgrimage site and especially a place of grace for the sick. Anyone who encounters the hundreds of suffering and disabled individuals here will have to engage in a special way with both the meaning of illness and the possibility and mystery of miracles. The booklet consists of a documentation about Bernadette Soubirous, a brief guide through the "holy district" and the main attractions of the city of Lourdes, and finally, a substantial section of prayers and a collection of songs. May this book remain a faithful companion for all pilgrims on their journey to Jesus Christ and his holy mother.
