children that there was no more wood in the house for the fire saint bernadette and her sister and a neighbor friend went to the river gave to gather some wood for the fire and to collect wood they need to cross a cold watered river saint bernadette's sister and her friend crossed the river but as we know saint bernadette suffered from asthma so saint bernard feared that she would get asthma so she stopped there suddenly heard a noise like a sound of storm but nothing was moving by hearing the sound bernadette looked up towards the grotto and the caves on the river bank near the opening of the grotto saint bernadette glanced and noticed that the cave was suddenly filled with light golden light lifting up her eyes she saw a lady of great beauty dressed in a pure white robe with a blue sash a veil over her head a rosary clasped in her hands and yellow roses at her feet and the beautiful lady placed herself at the entrance of the opening above the rose bush in the woods of saint bernadette she has the appearance of a young girl of 16 or 17. she is dressed in a white robe griddled at the waist with a blue sash which flows down all around the sleeves are long and tight fitting chevious upon her head a whale which is also white this whale gives just a glimpse of her hair and then falls down at the back below her waist her feet are bare but covered by the last folds of her rope a yellow rose shines upon each feet she holds on her right arm a rosary of white beads with a chain of gold shining like the two roses on her feet by seeing our lady saint bernadette took out her rosary and knelt before the lady our lady also had a rosary with her when san bernadette tried to begin saying the rosary by making the sign of the cross her arm was paralyzed it was only after mother mary made the sign of the cross herself saint bernadette was able to make the sign of the cross as bernadette pried the rosary the lady also passed the beats of her rosary between her fingers but remained silent when the recitation of the rosary was finished then our lady disappeared [Music] since bernadette told her sister all the extraordinary things that had happened to her at the grotto and also told her to keep it as a secret throughout the day the image of our lady remained in saint bernadette's mind in the evening at the family prayer saint bernadette was troubled and began to cry when her mother asked her why saint bernadette's sister told her everything bernadette's mother told her that those were just illusions and she also forbid her from going to the grotto san bernadette could not sleep that night she was constantly thinking of the lady three days later saint bernadette's mom allowed saint bernadette to go to the grotto the three girls this time took some holy water with them they took it because the elders said that if the person in the persian is good and holy then the holy water doesn't harm them but if it's something evil nature then the holy water will wad it off instead of throwing the holy water saint bernadette poured the water quietly on the floor and mother mary just smiled [Music] on this day all three girls went first to early mass then they went to the grotto this time saint bernadette carried a candle and a pen and a paper to record anything that might be said by our lady by seeing this our lady said to bernadette there is no need for me to write down what i have to say to you will you be so kind as to come here every day for 15 days and our lady also said i do not promise to make you happy in this life but in the next [Music] saint bernadette's parents and her aunt accompanied went with her to the grotto along with some neighbors shortly after saint bernadette began to pray the rosary everyone noticed that her face was transfigured and illuminated on the fifth visit our lady taught bernadette a prayer which she recited daily for the rest of her life saint bernadette never revealed the prayer to anyone but saint bernadette said that she was told to always bring a candle with her and this was the reason that even now candles burn perpetually at the grotto saint bernadette's daily visit to the grotto caused a stare in the countryside so crowds of people begin to gather at the grotto on this day our lady told saint bernadette to pray for our sinners several people were present on that day including a doctor who was a physician in lourdes he told the crowd that he could find nothing abnormal about saint bernadette's physical condition and he said that her mental condition was trans-like then a meeting was held by the citizens of the town and they expressed concern for the dangers that could accompany gatherings of such large crowds so they persuaded the imperial to officially forbid bernadette from going to the grotto for this bernadette responded that she can't do that because she had promised the beautiful lady that she would come during a meeting the chief of police deliberately tried to confuse saint bernadette to change her account of the apparitions when that attempt failed the poll is released saint bernadette the next day on monday saint bernadette went to the grotto and two policemen saw her and followed her and also the crowd but on that day our lady didn't come so saint bernadette said this time i saw nothing at all then she was allowed by the police to go home [Music]
