July 8, 2007Such a great faith! I wish I have an inch of it!! Such an inspiring true life-story. God is truly alive in our world. We must turn away from sin in order to feel God's presence and unconditional love! If you feel down, confused, and spiritually-troubled, please watch "The Song of Bernadette." Bernadette, whose life is depicted in this movie, died over hundreds of years ago, yet, her dead body is incorrupt. She is placed in a glass coffin in a Catholic Church in France, looking like she is only asleep. Many pilgrims visit the Church to pay their respect for this great saint--a vessel of God's grace to this fallen world!!
