of the Apparitions, Bernadette was a saint, an angel, a celestial being. But to those who told her that she could rest assured of her salvation, since the Lady had assured her that she would be happy in the other world, Bernadette replied that she would go to heaven, \u201conly if I can earn it\u201d.<br \/>Efforts to have her beatified and canonised began in 1907, and the body was exhumed three times, in 1909, 1919 and 1925. Each time, the body was discovered intact.<br \/>While the investigation continued, interrupted by the war of 1914-1918, visits to the tomb of Sister Marie-Bernard in Nevers increased, as did the number of prayer requests and graces obtained. Her reputation for holiness was thus confirmed.<br \/>Two miraculous healings were confirmed prior to her beatification, which was celebrated on Sunday 14th June 1925 at St Peter&#8217;s in Rome.<br \/>Canonisation followed eight years later, after two other miraculous cures had been recorded. One of the two recipients was a bishop who attended the ceremony with no signs of ailment.<br \/>Her body was placed in a shrine in the Chapel, where it remains to this day.<br \/><strong>Pope Pius XI chose 8th December 1933 as the date for Bernadette&#8217;s canonisation, the year of the Jubilee of the Redemption. In this way, the Redemption, the Immaculate Conception and Bernadette, the confidante of the Immaculate, were linked together.<\/strong><\/p><h5><span style=\"color: #997e4c;\"><strong>This year we will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of Bernadette&#8217;s canonisation.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5><p><strong>You can come and celebrate the anniversary of Bernadette&#8217;s canonisation with the Sanctuary of our Lady of Lourdes.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5aefa6d elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5aefa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lourdes-france.com\/pelerin-dun-jour\/le-8-decembre-lourdes-celebre-le-90e-anniversaire-de-la-canonisation-de-sainte-bernadette\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">See the special programme<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As its name suggests, All Saints&#8217; Day is the feast of all the saints.
