Our Lady of Lourdes

by Maria Rangel Cardenas

Years ago I made a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France with my best friend. 

We were immersed in the healing waters, lit a prayer candle, and were enveloped in the great peace of that place. 

It was the most peaceful place I have ever visited. It took my breath away. 

I painted this painting of Our Lady of Lourdes from some photos we took on our trip. 

Now, my friend is a Carmelite sister, and I am married with 4 children. I still feel wrapped in the love of Our Blessed Mother. And, I know she looks upon all of us with such tenderness.
