Who witnessed; what happened? • 3. Her orders: • “I would like to see many people here” • “My daughter, I want to tell you, just for you and about you one last secret, which you may never tell anyone else. Now go drink and wash at the spring and eat the grass growing nearby.” The spring provided 27, 000 gallons of water each week, since Bernadette followed the Lady’s wishes.
