I like St. Bernadette because I think shes a good role model. When she was young, she saw apparitions of Mary. As she kept going back, people thought she was a blasphemist, and even accused her as such. Bernadette continued to put her faith forward and ignored the people. I believe that makes her a role model because she didn't let anything get between her and her faith. Not even the priest or her parents believed her. When she was at the grotto, she ate dirt in front of a whole crowd of people and it became a spring. Bernadette was the only one who could see Mary. But she also has many qualities.
Bernadette has three main qualities and they all blend together. Perseverance, love and loyalty. She shows perseverance when she gets a ton of people questioning her, she keeps going back. This is also a sign of love for her faith and in Mary and God. Bernadette stops at nothing to make sure that nothing gets between her and her spiritual life. She shows loyalty to Mary and her prayer by returning to the grotto. When all these come together, she was really faithful and strong in her spiritual life. But then again, these are only three of her many qualities.
