She was Mary, the Mother of God. A large Church called a basilica was built where Bernadette saw Our Lady. Although the apparitions took place over a hundred years ago, miracles still happen there. Many people are cured of sicknesses. Crippled people walk again.
Blind people see again.
Lonely, broken people find hope again. There, where she once appeared to St. Bernadette, Our Lady still shows her love for us. Rent the video Song of Bernadette and watch it as a class or family. Park outside a hospital and say a prayer, or a rosary, for the sick people there. Get in the habit of saying a prayer when you hear an ambulance.
