SOME SAYINGS OF BERNADETTE I shall always have enough health, but never enough love for Our Blessed Lord. I am entrusted with telling you what I have seen and heard; I am not entrusted with making you believe it. I shall not live an instant without loving. I was a broom for the Virgin Mary; when she no longer needed me she put me in my right place, which was behind the door. It is not necessary to give each other a keepsake when we love each other, but remember we must love and help others without counting the cost. I fear nothing because I have always told the truth. Jesus came on earth to be my model. I want to follow him and walk generously in his footsteps. O Mary, my good Mother, help me follow your example to be generous in every sacrifice Our Lord may ask of me during my life. I shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them (her trials). From this moment on, anything concerning me is no longer of any interest to me. I must belong entirely to God, and to God alone. Never to myself. I must die to myself continually and accept trials without complaining. I work. I suffer and I love with no other witness than his heart.
