Translations:Saint Bernadette/19/en
Bernadette is now ascended. Bernadette has said that she made her ascension without ever having come to taste the fruits of this world. Even further, she never really knew about the wickedness, the degradation and the darkness of the world. From the time she was a child to the time of her ascension she dwelled in the innocence of God, thus proving that one does not have to have the wisdom of this world, one does not have to taste of the pleasures and the pain of this world in order to know God. She communed with the angels and with Mother Mary and lived a life of grace and purity. Only after she made her ascension and looked at the world was she apprised of this ugliness and its temptations.
