Lourdes Diary | Seven Days at the Grotto of Massabieille

James Martin, SJ, went on a Lourdes pilgrimage as chaplain for a group of pilgrims sponsored by the Order of Malta. Lourdes Diary is Fr. Martin’s illuminating account of seven busy and gratifying days at Massabieille—at turns touching, humorous, reverent, and self-effacing. As we journey with Martin, we come to understand why six million people a year make a Lourdes pilgrimage, and why many of them are forever changed by their experiences of this sacred place.
