Timeless Topix v2 #4

# Timeless Topix #4 Synopsis This issue features a concluding story titled "The Song of Bernadette" that dramatizes the life of Saint Bernadette of Lourdes. The narrative depicts Bernadette's visions of the Blessed Virgin at the miraculous spring in Lourdes, France in 1858, showing how her faith inspired many pilgrims to seek cures at the site while authorities like Baron Massy and Commissioner Jacomet attempt to dismiss the miracles as superstition. The story follows Bernadette's subsequent call to religious life, her decision to enter a monastery, and her dedication to serving God through prayer and work. The issue also includes the complete rules and prize details for the "Song of Bernadette" essay contest, offering cash awards totaling $4,200 across three divisions for Catholic pupils who write about what Bernadette's story means to them, with the grand prize worth $500.
