Monsignor Cotta was honored to say Mass at "The Grotto" (in Lourdes, France) at the natural rock where on February 11, 1858, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Bernardette. In the crevice of the Rock, at the foot of the statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary in white marble, one can read in the local Bigourdan dialect, "Que soy era Immaculada Conceptiou," recalling the words of Our Lady to Bernardette on March 25, 1858, "I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION."
