She once advised, "When tempted to argue recall these wise words: My job is to inform not to convince." Such is our motto at My Daily Bread: A Reason2bCatholic blog! Saint Bernadette Soubirous was born in 1844 to a destitute family in Lourdes, France. On 11 February 1858 she went down to the river Gave with her sister and a friend, to look for firewood and bones. There she received the first of a series of visions of the Virgin Mary. Today, this site is one of the most visited pilgrimage sites in all the world.
