The Song of Bernadette

The quote "To those who believe in God, no explanation is necessary. To those who do not believe in God, no explanation is possible" was part of the opening credits of the film The Song of Bernadette and has been paraphrased often in the intervening years. In forward to Sacred Hearts, Colleen wrote: "My cousin had a record based on the movie The Song of Bernadette. I traded her a Beatles 45 for it and whenever we wanted to put on a "serious show" we played the record and lip-synched the story with actions and friends we had forced to be our audience. I think we all secretly wished we could be Bernadette or the little children of Fatima and be the recipients of a miracle - a divine message. But we never thought of the consequences."
