CentenaryofSaintBernadette...

ItisahundredyearsinAprilthisyearsincethedeathofBernadetteSoubirous,themostunassumingcelebrityofthenineteenth centuryandasaintwhoeveryonenaturallycallsjustbyherfirstname.Shewas35whenshediedandshewascanonisedin1933, whenshewouldhavebeen89,hadshelived.

Hersanctitywastheworkofthewholeofhershort andhardlife.Butinherowndayherstatusasa celebritywasowedtocertaineventsthattookplace betweenFebruary11andJuly16,1858,inthetown ofLourdesattheedgeofthePyreneesinsouth-western France.

There,on18occesions,the14-year-oldBernedem,saw,inarockygrottobesidetheCraveRiver, anapparitionofayoungwomandressedinwhite.

Atthattime,Bernadettehadnotyetmadeherfirst Communionand,althoughshehadafirmintelligence andasharpwit,shewasalmostwithoutschooling.

Famousresponse

Shestillspokeonlythelocalpatoisandinthisdialectsheatfirstreferredtotheapparitionsimplyas Aquero,theFrenchtale,whichmightbetranslatedas "thatthere".

ButonMarch25,afterherstemandscepticalpastor,theAbbePeyramak,haddirectedhertoaskthe apparition'sname,Bernadettereceivedthefamousresponse,alsoconveedinthepatois:OmsoyeraImmaculadaCouncepcyiou(IamtheImmaculateConception).

SincenoonebutBernadetteeversawthoseapparitions,ithasoftenbeenobservedthattheworld's mostpopularplaceofChristianpilgrimagewasinthe beginningestablishedonherwordalone.

Millionsvisit

But,ofcourse,thatwordhasbeenconfirmedfor matethanacenturybythecrowdstravellingto Lourdes(atleastfourminionayear,nowadays),by theinteriorgracesthatmostofthesevisitorshave experiencedandbythephysicalcuresthathaveus vivedafewofthesickamongthem.

AmongcontemporaryauthoritiesonLourdes,easily themostindustriousisFrReneLaureatin,aFrench priestoftheDioceseofAngers.

Hehasbeenco-editorofaseven-volumecollection ofdocumentsaboutLourdesandofathree-volume studyofBernadette'sownwords.

Hehasalsowrittenasix-volumehistoryoftheapparitions.

Priest'shistory

HislatestbookisViedeBernadette(Descicede Brouwer)publishedinFrenchearlythisyear.

Thisattractivepaperbackwaspreparedfortheapproaching4centenaryofBernadette'sdeathanddesignedforageneralaudience.

"Thissimpleronewrites,thebetter.Onedisfigures thingsbytryingtoembellishthem."

Withthiscrispadmonitioninmind,FrLaurentin hasorganisedthebasicfactsandmemorablesayings intoabriskjournalisticnarrativewithsomedevoutreflectionsofhisowntuckedinhereandthere.

"Thetruestory..."

Sincethisisapopularaccount,itnecessarilylacks thesortofcommentaryindepththatwasprovided 30yearsagobyHenriPctitot,OP,inTheTrueStory ofBernadette.

AnEnglisheditionof"ViedeBernadette"wouldbe useful,notbecauseLourdesneedsadvertisement,or becauseBernadetteisobscure.

Sheis,infact,oneofthebestknownofmodem saints,butlikeanyhistoricalfigureshehastobe freshlyintroducedtoeachnewgeneration.

However,thatintroductionisworthmakingbecause,quiteapartfromtheapparitions,Bernadette's lifesaidsomethingessentialaboutthehumancondition.

"Dazzlingcompany"

Shebelongedtothatdazzlingcompanyofnineteenth centurysaintsandwriters,menandwomenasdiverse asStThereseofLisieux,CardinalNewman,FrDamienandDostoevski.

Inonewayoranother,suchpeopleunderlinedthe primacyofthespiritualandspecificallyoftheGospel.

Thiswassubstantiallythemessage,withwhichAleksandsSokhenitsynrattledsomanyofhisformeradmirersintheUnitedSlatesinhisspeechatHarvard UniversityfistJune.

Exceptfortheapparitions,allbutthreeofwhich occurredinthefewweeksbetweenFebruary11and March4,1958,therewerenolargehappeningsin anyofthethreeperiodsintowhichBernadette'slife wasdivided.

Ineachofthem,however,therewasagreatdeal ofawesomesulfating,whichsheenduredwithoutimpairmenteitherofhersanityorherconstancy.

Poorhome

Herfirst14yearswerespentinbitterandtotally unromanticpovertyastheoldestofherparents'nine children,ofwhomonlyfourreachedmaturity.

Thefamilyhadcomesadlydownintheworldand in1858theSoubirouswerelivinginasingleroom ofanabandonedandreekingbuildingthathadonce beenthetownjail.

Aftertheapparitions,Bernadettewasconstantly harassedbycuriousvisitors.

So,inthesummerof1860,sheagreedtolive,more orlessshutop,inahospicethattheSistersofCharity ofReversmaintainedinLourdes.

In1866,whenshewas22,shejoinedthatcongregationanditssuperiorsweregratifiedtoreceiveher.

Unkindnuns

Neverthelesstheyensuredthemselvesofminornotoriety'bytreatingBernadettewithweirdunkindness.

"Sheisgoodfornothing,"saidtheMotherGeneral pleasantly,whenBernadettemadeherreligiousprofession.

ButthephysicianwithwhomBernadettelaterserved intheconventinfirmarythoughtotherwise.Hejudged herworktobeexcelkne

Inanycase,shewasneverassignedelsewherebut remainedatthemother-houseinReversuntilshedied therein1879afterseveralyeasofprogressivelyintensesufferingfromtuberculosisofthebone.

Fewwords;repartee

JustasBernadettewasnotgiventostrikingpublic performance,soshewasnotgiventostrikingpublic utterance.

Itistruethatmuchofwhatshesaidwasrecorded becauseshewassoofteninterrogatedbyciviland ecclesiasticalofficials,butotherwiseshewasnaturally laconic.

AwomanwhoknewherinLourdesobservedthat Bernadette"neversaidthreewordswhereonewould

Shedidhave,however,whatFrLattrentincallsa giftforreparteeandcoulduseiteffectivelywhenbesiegedbyhostileorimportunateinquirers.

Hergreatpatron,theLadyoftheGrotto,although eversmilingandgracious,wasnottalkativeeither.

Indeed,Bernadette'sdescriptionsoftheapparitions contrastinstructivelywiththerecitalsofcertainother "visions"reportedfromvariousplaces.

Inmanyoftheselattereases,theMotheratGad isrepresentedasfondoflengthychatswithherclients and"centredenextended,andoftenportentous,seller, tonsanthelowstateofinternationalaffairs.

"Penance"

ButapartfromAquero'srequestthatachapelbe builtatthegrottosite,theonlycommunicationthat Bernadettereceivedforothersthanherselfwascompressedintothesingleword:"Penance".

Moreover,nomatterhowoftenshewasrequiredto relateherexperiences,Bernadetteneitheralterednor expandedherstory,althoughherrecollectionofsome detailsnaturallyfadedastheyearspassed.

"Itislongago,"shesaidtoabishopwhoquestioned herintheautumnof1877,whenshewasalready mortallysick.

"Solongago Idon'tliketotalkaboutitbemuse,monDiensupposeshouldmakeamistake?"

"Littlepeasant"

TheLadyalsogaveBernadetteamessageforherself,butitwastohekeptsecret.Bernadettewasonce askedifshewouldrevealthesewordstothePape.

"TheBlessedVirginhasforbiddenmetotellthem toanyperson,"shesaid,"andthePopeisapence."

AtReverssomeyearslater,thisreticenceoutraged MereVenice,themistressofnovices,whoexpected tobetoldeverything.

Thisformidablewomanadmitted,afterBernadette's death,thatshehadalwaysspokentoherwithacertainsharpness.

'Bernadettewasalittlepeasant,"MereVatuou oncesaid."IdonotunderstandhowtheBlessedVirgin couldhaverevealedherselftoher,Themaresomany others,sorefined,sowellbroughtup.However!"

Smallstature

ItistruethatBernadettehadnoneofthepresetnce ofacelebratedvisionaryandwassosmallthatwhen theSistersfdedintothechapel,sheledthelinethat wasgraduatedaccordingtoheight.

Althoughshewascandidandcheerful,Bernadette wassocomposedlyself-containedthatbiographers havehadtroubleevokingtheprecisequalityofher holiness.

Itisregularlydescribedassecret,simpleorchildlike.Noneofthesetermsisunreasonable,buttheyall havemisleadingovertones.Bernadettewascertainly notgiventoself-revelation,butneitherwassheneuroticallyintroverted.

"Simplicity"ofherconvictions

HerconvictionsdidhavethesimplicityoftheGospel,butthatmeanstheywereimmeasurablyprofound, thoughnotcomplicated.And,ofcourse,herconsistent,evensteely,adherencetothoseconvictionswas entirelydifferentfromthemereinnocenceofchildren.

Ineverysaint,thecommongapbetweenbeliefand behaviourisheroicallydiminished,butinBernadette's casethiswasaccomplishedbypatienceratherthanby extraordinaryaction.

Evenbefore1858,shehadarrivedattheinsight thatsustainedherthroughoutalifethatwasnever comfortableandendedinacrescendoofpain.

"WhenthegoodGodallowssuffering,"shesaid tohercousinin1857,"youdon'tcomplain."

ButBernadettehadnosentimentalillusionsabout hardship;sheknewittoowell.

"StBernardlovedsuffering,"shesaidtowardthe closeofherlife,"butavoiditasmuchascan."

Manyailments

Shecouldnot,however,avoidaterrifyingaccumulationofailments,andshediedaftermonthsof deteriorationfromchronicasthma,agreattumoron onekneeandthegeneraldecayofhertubercularbody.

Besidesallthis,sheendureddarknessofspirit."It's verypainfultobeunabletobreathe,"shesaidonce, "butitisevenhardertobetormentedbyinterim pains.That'sterrible."

MostChristians,astheygrowolder,becomewary ofeasyreferencestotheCross.

FatherLaurentinrecallsthatwhenCardinalPierre Veuillot,theArchbishopofParis,wasdyingin1968, hesaid:"Tellpriestsnottospeakofsuffering.Theydon'tknowwhatthey'retalkingabout.Theydon't knowwhatitis."

Areminder

Trueenough.ButifChristiansoughtnottooreadilyrecommendconsiderationoftheCrosstoothers,soonerorlatertheymustrecommendittothemselves.

Inthelastquarterofthe20thcentury,thisnecessity isnotapttodecrease;itmaybecometheonlyrecourseleft.

"Wearenottheonestochangethisevilworldinto agoodone,"saidKarlBarth,theclearestProtestant theologianofourtime.

"Allthisisrequiredofusisthatinthemidstof thepoliticalandsocialdisorderoftheworldweshould beHiswitnesses,asdisciniesandservantsofJesus."
