302- The Constant Procession: Part 2

This is the 2nd audio installment of my book The Constant Procession. My book is a religious memoir about how some of the approved apparitions of the Virgin Mary have influenced history!

This installment digs deep into my discovery of the reason churches in post WW II America were named for the Madonna.

The inspiration for the writing of the book The Song of Bernadette came to life for an author trapped by Nazis in 1941 while he hid in Lourdes, France.

Early and 70's book covers of The Song of Bernadette
1970’s version (L) and 1940’s version of The Song of Bernadette by Franz Werfel. Notice how the ‘dust jackets’ reflect the popular culture emphasis of each time period when books were printed.

Here is a very good review of The Song of Bernadette by author Christine Vincent- CatholicMom.com
