CHOOSE YOUR SAINT + FIND YOUR HERO St. Bernadette is the patron saint of poverty and those who are ill. Virtue: Faithfulness Feast Day: April 16 St. Bernadette was admired for her humility and complete sacrifice to God. As a young teenager, she was visited by Our Lady, who appeared to her near a grotto. Many did not believe the young Bernadette until she was told by Our Lady to “drink of the water of the spring...” the next day, the muddy waters of the grotto became clear and fresh. Pilgrims travel to receive miracles from the Lourdes water to this day. Saints were real people just like you, they simply learned to walk this earth in complete union with God and allowed miracles to flow through them. We are all called to be saints. May the story and life of your saint be an inspiration to you. May you, too, be aware of God’s miracles and become the saint you are called to be! Add your saint to your bracelet, necklace, anklet, zipper pull, backpack, as a prayer-marker on your rosary —let your inspiration guide you! * Silver-tone petite saint medals, approximately 8-12 mm with an Auspice Maria logo charm * Double-sided medal- St. Bernadette/Our Lady of Lourdes * Hand-cast in a sacred site in Italy
