[CHURCH BELL RINGING]
Soubirous.
Soubirous.
- If you go early, maybe you'll find work.
- Hmm.
SOUBIROUS:
Bonjour, Monsieur Maisongrosse.
MAISONGROSSE:
No work for you today.
How can I hire anybody when
there isn't enough to keep me busy?
People don't go to bakers anymore.
No, they go to pastry cooks,
because it's stylish.
Why don't you try the hospital?
The man doing odd jobs
moved to Tarbes yesterday.
[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]
Take that stuff clear out to the dump at
Massabielle and burn every bit of it.
It's full of infection and disease.
Why did Christ found the Church?
Christ founded the Church to teach,
govern, sanctify and save all men.
How long did he live on Earth?
Christ lived on Earth about 33 years
and led a most holy life in poverty.
That is correct, except you've omitted
the last and most important word:
"In poverty and suffering".
Never forget that, my child.
For only through suffering can we hope
to gain the kingdom of God.
What is the Holy Trinity?
I said, what is the Holy Trinity?
Didn't you hear me?
Yes, Sister, I heard you,
Have you ever heard of it?
Maybe I've heard of it.
You puzzle me, my child.
Are you pert, indifferent or only stupid?
I'm stupid, Sister.
I have a poor head for study.
You're also pert.
You're a grown girl, Bernadette,
the oldest in the class.
Ignorance of the Holy Trinity
is inexcusable.
Go to the foot of the class.
What is it, Marie?
I just wanted to say that
my sister Bernadette was sick...
...the day the class learned
about the Holy Trinity.
- She's always ailing.
- What ails her?
They call it "atma" or some such name.
You're trying to say "asthma"?
Yes, Sister.
That's what Dr. Dozous calls it.
She can't breathe.
Sometimes she sounds just like this:
[GIRLS GIGGLING]
[STICK BANGING]
SISTER:
Laughter wastes valuable time.Return to your studies.
Toinette, perhaps you can tell Bernadette
what the Holy Trinity is.
The Holy Trinity is one God
God the Father, God the Son
and God the Holy Ghost.
PEYRAMALE:
Sister Marie Therese, bonjour.
SISTER:
Bonjour, Father Peyramale.
Bonjour, children.
GIRLS:
Bonjour, Your Reverence.
PEYRAMALE:
I was passing, I thought I'd stop in...
...to see how many you were preparing
for First Communion.
Six. We were just having a review
of our catechism.
Well.
You all know your catechism?
Yes, Your Reverence.
To learn your catechism
requires great diligence.
I believe such diligence
should be rewarded.
I have some holy pictures.
Would you like one?
Yes, Your Reverence.
Very well.
- Here you are.
- Thank you, Your Reverence.
- As you grow older...
- Thank you.
...you will realize
that in learning your catechism...
...you have given yourselves not only
a foundation of religious teachings...
...but also a doctrine...
- Thank you.
PEYRAMALE:
To guide you......throughout your lives.
SISTER:
I'm sorry, Father...
...this girl is not deserving.
It is unfair to the others.
They have studied their catechism.
She has not.
Well, that's too bad.
I'm sorry.
This should be an incentive to you, then.
Study hard.
You found work?
Twenty sous.
From the baker?
Where, then?
SOUBIROUS:
Don't ask me.
- You didn't beg?
- Worse.
The stinking filth from the hospital
had to be carted away and burned.
That's the kind of job
they give to Soubirous.
This is where they let him live.
Soubirous the miller,
who made the finest flour in Escoubes...
...lives in a jail
that is too cold and damp for prisoners.
