I have Stage IV lung cancer and am going to die much sooner rather than later. I've just returned from Lourdes. I wasn't looking for a miraculous cure, but rather a reaffirmation of faith. I think that most people I saw there were looking for the same thing - a little peace in our time of suffering and hope that our faith in God and heaven is well founded. I believe it is.

The vast majority of those making a pilgrimage to Lourdes seeking a healing, do not receive one. A good example is St Zelie Martin, the mother of the Little Flower, St Therese of Lisieux, who sought a cure of her cancer. But she became a saint recently. Many people in this situation, claim that they received another miracle. The strength to accept the cross that God has given them. So if you make a pilgrimage there, the beautiful thing is you never seem to come back from there empty handed

St. Bernadette, pray for us.
Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us.
All glory to the Lord of Lords.

My rt leg was shorter and by the miracle power of Jesus Christ it grew up instantly after receiving healing prayer. I used to wear cushion in my rt shoe and fall often due to unbalance. I also pray for the sick now and I see miracle power of Jesus Christ all the time.

Thank you God and Jesus Christ.

Merry Christmas to all.

I try often to be mindful of God's presence. He then reveals Himself in any situation. Even in the most mundane moments. 🌝 “Rejoice always, pray continually, [and] give thanks in all circumstances” (1 Thess. 5:16-18 NIV).

St. Bernadette is my patron saint. My lifelong desire is to someday make it to Lourdes. St. Bernadette, pray for us!

Faith is a powerful thing and there's so much we don't know about the world in which we live, but there is a logical scientific explanation for these miracles such as a blurry xray image.

[Janxiv]

It's ironic how people who doesn't believe in miracles. Always interest about miracles.

Someone brought holy water back from Lourdes years ago for our family. When my brother was 2 he drank it with some of my moms birth control pills 😆 had to have his stomach pumped but other wise fine.

Christian chants did cure my insomnia. It has some psychological effects at least.

[PeterSramka]

Just because something cannot be explained by current medical science does not mean it is necessarily a miracle. There is a lot that is unknown to medical science, even today.

[nomadicroadrat]

mind over matter. It works sometimes, other times it doesn't.

[wangansigma]

Holy crap everyone in the comments is senile.

[lucasribeiro]

Denying an explicit miracle is not rational it's just plain dumb. if it proves to be a miracle, of course

[VanHalenIsolated]

If a person has all the power in the world to cure cancer but only chose to heal some people and not others, you’d call that person a monster. So even if god is real, he’s not worthy of worship. Also, just because something is unexplained, doesn’t mean it’s from a supernatural source.
