Over eighteen apparitions she asked for prayer and penance, told Bernadette to dig in the ground — where a spring rose that flows to this day — and finally gave her name: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” Millions have come to that spring since, and Our Lady of Lourdes has become the mother the sick and the frightened turn to first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Lady of Lourdes reminds us that \u003cstrong\u003eour Mother comes to the small and the suffering\u003c\/strong\u003e — and asks only for our trust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFeast Day: February 11 | Our Lady of Lourdes, the World Day of the Sick\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMary has a place in every Catholic home.

She stands robed in white with a blue sash and veil, her hands joined in prayer, a golden rose embroidered at each foot just as Bernadette described her. At about 4.75 inches, she is small enough for the littlest hands and easy to bring along — to Mass, in the car, or wherever a small companion is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Catholic Plush Doll from Little Drops of Water is hand-designed and made to be loved — soft to hold, with embroidered features and no hard pieces, so a child’s first encounter with a saint is something gentle, huggable, and entirely their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA REFLECTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Lady came to Lourdes and chose a child nobody thought much of — poor, sickly, unable to read. She asked her for nothing but prayer. That is the comfort of Lourdes: heaven does not wait for us to be strong or well or impressive. For a child who is ill, or afraid, or facing something hard, she is a mother who came for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePERFECT FOR THE FAMILIES\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA keepsake gift for:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003eget-well or comfort gift\u003c\/strong\u003e for a child who is sick, in hospital, or recovering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA child’s \u003cstrong\u003eFirst Communion\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBaptism\u003c\/strong\u003e, or \u003cstrong\u003eConfirmation\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003efeast of Our Lady of Lourdes (February 11)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the World Day of the Sick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003esympathy gift\u003c\/strong\u003e in a time of illness or loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChristmas\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eMother’s Day\u003c\/strong\u003e, or a Marian name day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere she belongs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is at home in a child’s arms first of all — on the pillow at bedtime, in a hospital bed, in the car seat on a long drive, or beside a crib as a soft first patron.
