Your father left at dawn to look for work.
What does 'The Lady' request from Bernadette?
Your brothers are helping Uncle Andre clean out the stable. Vlad, I don't have to do that. It smells bad. Here, Toinette, Bernadette, eat your eggs. Thank you. Thank you, Maman. Bernadette, I'll need your help with the laundry. Oui, Maman. Bonjour. It's Aunt Bernad. Oh, are you here to take her to the grotto? Good morning to you too, Louise. I don't like you encouraging Bernadette's behavior. What if other people find out? We'll never live it down. Between Toinette and AndrΓ©, all of Lord knows now. To Annette! I only told a few people. If Bernadette gets a reputation for being crazy, Francois will never get work. I promised the lady I'd go back for 14 days. You'll have to break that promise.
How does Bernadette demonstrate courage at the grotto?
Let me take her, Louise. Why are you so interested all of a sudden? I want to see for myself what has got lured in a dither this time. There's a crowd gathering in Massabielle. It'll only grow as the day goes on. That's what they are. Pitiful. Running after anything that looks like a miracle. Do they think Bernadette's lady is bringing them cake and tea? Let me take her to the grotto, Louise. I won't stay long. Fine. Let's go. May I go too, Mama? No. Finish your breakfast. Do you think the lady will come this morning, Bernadette?
What reactions do Bernadette's parents have to her visions?
I think so, Auntie. Well, how can you tell? I have a feeling. What sort of feeling? I can't explain it. Well, I hope you can explain it soon. We have to find out who she is. Oui, Aunt Bernadette. There she is!
That's the girl!
Take my hand. Ignore the crowd. This is far enough. Should we cross the stream? No. Let's kneel here.
Will you pray the rosary with me?
Yes. Yes, of course.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
Bernadette? Bernadette? Bernadette? Can you hear me? She's in a trance! Please! Please give her space! You'll crush her! Bernadette, can you hear me?
Bernadette, will you do something for me? Oui. Tell the priest that he should have a chapel built here. Here? Yes, here in the grotto of Massabielle. I'll tell Father Permal. Thank you. Listen, my child. I do not promise to make you happy in this world, but I will in the next. Lady, are you from heaven? What is your name?
Remedet. Bernadette, where are you going? Why are you crawling on your knees like a baby?
Get up! What's she doing, Uncle Andre? I can't see. She's digging in the dirt with both hands. And now she's rubbing her face in the mud.
Bernadette, stop. You're making a fool of yourself. Child, what are you doing? Stop. Listen to me.
She is eating weeds.
She's going crazy. Here, child. Let me wipe your face. I can do it myself. Thank you, Tante. Oh, Aunt Bernadette, you're back.
What miracle occurs as a result of Bernadette's faith?
The lady came. I could tell that. You behaved abominably. She told me to bathe in the river. You can tell me about it while I bring you back to your house. Away from here and this wild crowd. Come, let's walk. What happened? You ate a clump of weeds and smeared mud on your face. The lady told me to go bathe in the water. At first I thought she was talking about the Gav River, so I started to go... Walking on your knees like a crab? But the lady told me to stay where I was and dig, and then to eat the plant that grew out of there. But why? You looked... People said you looked crazy. She said there's penance for the sake of sinners. Who is this lady? She asked me to have a chapel built at Massaviel. That's ridiculous.
That's what she wants. But where would we get the money for a chapel or find someone to build it? And for a mysterious lady? It's not... it's not Christian. Not in Massabielle.
