I've read parts of the book and seen the movie in my religion class in college and I completely believe it. Her story really moved me.

Yes. I do believe in Bernadette of Lourdes. When I was younger I read "The Song of Bernadette" and was quite moved and I love the movie. Also, the Church has strict criteria for declaring any healing a miracle and only a very few of the many attributed to the waters of Lourdes have been authenticated.
There was a program on TV about it some years ago. The program said in order for it to be a miracle (1) there must be verifiable evidence of a disease or medical condition, like X-rays and doctors' statements, (2) the cure must be instantaneous, (3) the disease or condition cannot come back during the person's lifetime.
The fact that there are bona fide instantaneous and permanent cures makes me believe.

St. Bernadette Of course. Isn't it amazing what the Lord can do? Her body still lies in-corrupt.
Peace Be With You,

Bernadette Peters? She's got a great pair of lungs.

Heck Yes!
St. Bernadette's life was AMAZING!
I hope that one day I can go to Lourdes and see how her body is in-corruptible.
