	Bernadette Soubirous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saint Bernadette Soubirous (January 7, 1844 - April 16, 1879) was a shepherd girl from the town of Lourdes in southern France.
		Bernadette was holding a lighted candle; during the vision it burned down, and the flame was said to be in direct contact with her skin for over 15 minutes but she supposedly showed no sign of experiencing any pain or injury.
		Bernadette was a sickly child; she had had cholera in infancy and suffered most of her life from asthma, and some of the people who interviewed her following her revelation of the visions thought her simple-minded.

	St. Bernadette
		Bernadette's canonization in 1933 was the culmination of a process which had been started nearly three-quarters of a century earlier: she is, therefore, a saint of modern times, and the remarkable facts of her life are readily accessible to all.
		Bernadette was never strong, and from the age of six she showed symptoms of the respiratory ailment that later became a chronic affliction.
		Bernadette, staring in fascination, saw that the luminous apparition was dressed in a soft white robe, with a broad girdle of blue, and a long white veil that partially covered her hair.

	Saint Bernadette
		Just as the little Bernadette was intended to become holier because of the beauty she saw beyond all her dreams, so her example becomes a model of sanctification for ourselves, whereby we may also learn to love God better and joyfully offer up our lives to Him.
