The Beloved Malades Go To the Baths

The Malades line up outside the baths. Each one is filled with a mixture of apprehension, uncertainty and hope. They will enter the waters that Mary asked Bernadette to bathe in. Mary told Bernadette that she does not promise her happiness in this life but in "the other" . What is the other life for us? The waters are chilly, the immersion is quick, the effect is for a lifetime.
