Meanwhile the news of the apparitions spread and many spectators came to the cave, where in the appearance of 24 February, the Virgin repeated three times the word" penance ". And he urged "Pray for sinners."
The next day, the Lady asked Bernadette to go to the source of that water and drink, but finding no source, the young man began to dig with his hands and from that little hole began to pour water in abundance. All present were astonished them, a blind man's eyes are wet with that water and immediately regained his sight. The parish priest of Lourdes, being skeptical about what was happening, asked Bernadette an irrefutable sign: what was the name of the beautiful lady?

The girl, who did not know what it was that name, immediately went and told the pastor that he was shocked and had no doubt.
