" Oldest of 6 children in a very poor family headed by Francois and Louise Casterot. Hired out as a servant from age 12 to 14. Shepherdess. On 11 February 1858, around the time of her first Communion, she received a vision of the Virgin; her own account of it is in the Reading section further in this document. She received 18 more in the next 5 months, and was led to a spring of healing waters. She moved into a house with the sisters of Nevers at Lourdes where she lived, worked, and learned to read and write. The sisters cared to the sick and indigent, and at age 22 they admitted Bernadette into their order since she was both. Always sick, and often mistreated by her superiors, she died with a prayer for Mary’s aid. Body is incorruptible. "

Since we are christians, it is a most grievius sin of Calumny to treat another christians with defamation, gossip and personal character assasinations. This sin can often result in a perptual S#!^ ball of up and down wars and attacks. We are supposed to see Christ in eachother, but Christ is a distant figurehead, who spoke a different language aramaic and who wore different cloths. Perhaps we can see Christ in our selves and those around us. In the words treat others as we would like to be treated. Rather than trying to see christ in others. Seek Christ in ourselves and has compassion in others in the form of the way we would like to be treated. Saint Benedette found contempt and compassion in an order where we were supposed to care for others, was given jobs to scrub the floor. She was treated as the bastard step child of holyness, mocked and laughed at. Oh she saw the virgin Mary. She talks to the virgin mother. HAAH! God sent Michael to take her home as he could not bear to see her live 80 some years treated like this and her heart was broken.

Who among you when asked for a load of bread? Would give a man a stone. or when asked for a fish, would give a man a snake? Amen I say to you. Whatever you ask the father in my name. He will give to you…

Matthew 9: 14 - 15

14 Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 15 And Jesus said to them, "Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
