The visit of the relics of St Bernadette of Lourdes offers a moment of grace and new evangelisation in England, Scotland and Wales, the Bishop of Shrewsbury has said.
The Rt Rev. Mark Davies said he hoped the visit of the relics of the 19th century French visionary would invites pilgrims to answer the “universal call to holiness”.
In a podcast with Dr Gavin Ashenden, an associate editor of the Catholic Herald, Bishop Davies said the lives of saints like Bernadette remind people in every age of the crucial importance of embracing the good and of rejecting “what truly ails us, which is sin”.
