Officials Interrogated
Following her visions, Bernadette was subjected to interrogation by religious and government officials. Despite this, her plot stayed consistent throughout the series. After the adolescent girl’s visions were authenticated by the church, the story was published in 1862. The Lourdes Medical Bureau also reports that Bernadette’s discovery of a water spring has resulted in approximately 70 miraculous healings, which they attribute to her discovery.
Water Of Miracles
On the other hand, the mayor of Lourdes had requested that the water from the grotto be tested in the same year as Bernadette’s visions took place. A specialist discovered that, despite the spring’s higher mineral content, it did not contain any substances that could have been responsible for the documented cures. Bernadette believes that the secret components behind the miracles were simply faith and worship on the part of the participants. “Without faith, the water will have no virtue,” she is believed to have added.
