Quotes[edit]

  • I shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them.
    Why must we suffer? Because here below pure Love cannot exist without suffering. O Jesus, Jesus, I no longer feel my cross when I think of yours.
    • 1873. Quoted in A Holy Life: St. Bernadette of Lourdes (2005) by Patricia McEachern, ch. 2.
