But we seem to be a real pagan and ungrateful family. Could you pray for me and in fact die for us so that our conversion may be genuine? Do now.

20 years ago my Grandson was born with a heart condition. We were told he would need a heart transplant . His mother decided to have him baptized before his surgery. The priest asked us to place our hands over him,and asked for God’s healing. I went home got on my knees and begged God for healing. We had lost my husband a year earlier. We had a dry summer, so I asked for a sign of rain. The next day at Children’s Hospital in St.Louis,we were waiting for the latest test. It started storming, with heavy rain. My Son and his wife walked in where the family was waiting.His sweet Mother shouted “It’s a miracle “. The latest test showed he would just need minor surgery . He is 20 years old now , healthy and a joy . So YES I believe in miracles! Praise GOD!

We also prayed to Padre PIO. So he was given a miracle. He is a miracle. 🙏

I swear watered from Lourdes helped me get sober and stay sober. I was a horrible alcoholic and it is absolutely a generational curse that runs through my mother and my father.. it killed my mom. Every time I would buy a rosary with water from lords in the centerpeice, the water would disappear within a week. So I stay stocked up from the Franciscan Ministries. I keep it in a spray bottle and I just pray a little bit every once in a while.... Believe it or not ...that's fine with me. But I believe it. Song of Bernadette was my favorite favorite movie when I 1st got sober... over 7 years now 💛💛💛 I'm also Catholic and I absolutely believe that Christ is present in the Eucharist and I've learned this week that more than 70% of Catholics don't believe that.... 😔 that makes me so sad. I know somebody's going to attack me in the comments and that's OK. I hope that you find peace in your life.

This is so TRUE. My Dad a non believer,an a Hindu ,climbed the thousand steps to the top,of Notre Dame. His legs healed which were in pain climbing up. He only requested Mother help me to climb up. Then he was completely converted.. He even went to Lourdes after and brought us Holy water from there.. I myself had my legs healed in The Church of the Miraculous Medallion. Because I only asked for the pain in my legs. I had a tumor then,but I didn't ask for the full body. Prayers are powerful. Always pray for full Healing of Entire body. AMEN . Hallelujah Hallelujah

[@touchedbygracetoday]

Thank you for your story. It reminded me of my friend's conversion. I have a Buddhist friend who is now Catholic. I asked her why she converted. She said that she had constant pain on her feet, and the doctors recommended surgery. While at mass with her Catholic husband, she read the bulletin and saw names of people being prayed for. She noticed that the names changed the following week. She assumed that they got better. During the next mass, she asked Jesus, "Who are you? Who are you?" Then she prayed to Jesus to heal her. And He did! And that was the start of her journey to Catholicism. Thanks, praise, and glory to God!

[@kagakudoragon]

Your story is very interesting and im glad you both were healed, though I skeptical of course… 1.) “His legs healed” • Healed in what way? Were his legs injured? Because, from the rest of the story it appears his legs simply got fatigued from climbing and when they felt better at the top, it was assumed to be a miracle 2.) “I had a tumor back then but I didnt ask for the full body” • Granted I don’t know how your condition was, but why not just pray for the cancer to go away completely? That would remove the pain also. • Also, Cancer isn’t always painful, it depends on wheter it is pressing against a nerve. Hydrotherapy is used to reduce Cancer pain, so if you went into the spring, chances are the water did help, but it wasnt a miracle

[@violetflame2923]

@@kagakudoragon Firstly I think you are a non believer! For that there is no cure. However in case you haven't been to Notre Dame in Paris , to climb up the huge tower, there are *Thousand Steps* And each step is quite high ,for a 60 year old man ,that's pretty tough. So his legs started paining at some time as well as he started tiring . He prayed to Mother , regarding the pain in his legs ,and when he climbed down ,all his tiredness and pain was, gone. In my case ,I didn't know about my tumor ,I used to get severe pains in my stomach for months , despite taking sonography they couldn't see the tumor. Because I was young ,they didn't want to operate. Also compounding the problem,was the fact I use to fly for an Airline,so due to Standing up all the time, against gravity ,I started getting heaviness in my lower legs ,which used to pain. Now while kneeling and getting up , and kneeling, throughout the Church service. I asked Mother Mary to please take away the pain in my legs , because at that point only my legs were hurting from kneeling on the wooden table. And yes when we got up and out of the Church my leg pain was fully cured. But I haven't given the *FULL TESTIMONY* Prior to coming to this Church of the *Miraculous Medallion* I had a vision of Mother Mary,where she appeared to me in the form of Her Full Grace With her Arms outstretched. Towards me. She was crying when she then prophesied to me.. So upon Entering the Church and seeing the Stone statue in the Form of her Full Grace ,with Fairy light streaming from both her hands. I started feeling the pain of our Lady . I was crying throughout FULL chuch service. The other Miracle I had during the giving of the Eucharist,I won't mention here.. Especially not to non believers, Most especially it says on YOUR profile you want to annihilate the Pillars of Society. Be God of Robotics!!! The Dragon by every other name is Satan. Have a Wonderful Day. Hope you grow in your Faith..and come to believe in Our Lady of the Miraculous Medallion. Which now I wear around my neck.🙏🏻

My mother had epilepsy althroughout her childhood in the Philippines. In the 50s to 60s, they could only give you heavy barbiturates and there was (and still is I believe) no cure to epilepsy. So she suffered with this as a child. When she was 18, she went with her parents on a trip to Europe. One of the stops was in Lourdes, France. My grandparents were devout Catholics and at that point, the thinking was what is there to lose? My mom's epileptic attacks stopped after that visit to Lourdes. Maybe there's a scientific and medical explanation. Maybe her body healed itself. We will never know for sure. But to this day, my mother believes it was Lourdes that healed her. Amazing. She is 74 now and still a devout believer.

[@isaiah3872]

Wow! I hope you & your mom have a Merry Christmas. Even as a practising Catholic Christian, I'm very suspicious of these "miraculous sites", but it warms my heart to know that your mum is keeling the flame of faith alive and well after so many decades. God bless the entire family

[@utubefreshie]

@@isaiah3872 Awww thank you! What a beautiful message! Merry Christmas to you too! Yes, my mother is a very devout believer. More than I ever could be. Another example of a "miracle" was just this last year, both my parents came down with covid. They are both in their 70s. My father especially had underlying conditions. He came so close to not making it. I asked my mother if she was prepared for him to go and she said: I'm just praying and God will provide. Whatever outcome happens, it will be ok. God will be there for us. We will be at peace and find acceptance. It was honestly the most harrowing time of my life. We were able to get them in a hospital with very good doctors. After a month-long ordeal, they both made it through. Of course medical science is what cured them. But for me, the miracle was that we were able to get them in a hospital at all during a time when all the hospitals were full! I believe my mother's prayers made a difference. There was so much death at that time but for some reason, both my parents were spared. There's some things that you just can't explain and it's just a matter of fortune or luck or if one is a believer, God's grace and miracle. May you be blessed too!

Very nice journalism here. I would only add a theological question: "why would God intervene in some cases and not others."

Like the handicapped gentleman said, all healings are not necessarily physical, but primarily spiritual - giving people an inexplicable peace and helping them to cope with their difficult life situations.

[@seanrcollier]

Fascinatingly, I went to a talk once by a professor discussing miracles who said that the rate of spontaneous cures at Lourdes is about the same as the rate of spontaneous cures in the general population. I had no idea there were spontaneous cures in the general population. And to be fair, I have never tried to verify the claim. But still, at first it seemed a letdown about Lourdes. Yet on reflection it's more of a lesson about God's mercy to all his children, not just those who make a pilgrimage seeking miracles.

I've been to Lourdes twice in my life so far. Both times I went into the baths. In November of 2021 I came down with Covid very badly. To the point doctors wondered if I was going to make it, but I fully recovered. You don't need to be sick at the time you go into the baths at Lourdes. So I believe Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Good Help preserved me from death. For me, both times I liked going to the shrine late at night. Less people and you are almost alone before the image of Our Lady. It was almost close to mid-night when I got back to my hotel and the young hotel person stayed up until I got back. I thanked her profusely and headed to my room to go to sleep. It's a beautiful place and I participated in the candle-light procession at night. At 64 I am hoping sometime in the future to return just one more time.

I am not religious, but the Universe is far more mysterious and wondrous than we can comprehend. In 2015 my father went into the hospital, and suffered organ failure. We were calling relatives and friends to say their goodbyes. The hospital rabbi had been praying with us, and the priest offered to pray as well. We said sure, what can it hurt. Well, I kid you not, my father went from organ failure, literally dying, and he actually pulled out of it. He was alive for one more year after that. I don't know why this happened, but none of the doctors could explain it. So far as I am concerned, it was a miracle. And it wasn't just one faith involved. It was a blessing to have the extra time with him, and for him to be able to end life on his own terms.

When training in medicine/surgery in USA, I saw several miracles, some of which could not be explained by science, while others perhaps resulted from our team's work. It was my practice to say a small prayer before doing a procedure on a patient. For example, one patient with pancreatic cancer was being evaluated for chemotherapy after surgical removal of the cancer mass (survival about 5%). After surgery, his family and friends would surround his ICU bed to pray daily. Lab results showed NOT a single cancerous cell in this patient, and he was discharged to home. My Catholic faith was reaffirmed each time I was fortunate to witness God's interventions firsthand.

I feel for you. I know about chronic pain too. I am 58. My chiropractor saved my ankle before I was going to get an ankle replacement .He's doing Lazer therapy now. , which he said won't help me. I have degenerative disc disease , osteoarthritis in right ankle , left knee and back and reflex sympathetic dystrophy and neuropathy. I broke my ankle in 1990 and was used as a Guinea pig on ankle. I don't know if the Lazer Therapy would help you. Many chiropractors are Lousy .I had enough cortisone shots and all those injections in my back too , so that's done for me. Reflexology helped with deep massage , chiropractor and acupressure. Paying out of pocket is not affordable for me anymore. It had me out of pain . I'm not trying to play doctor for you. I might try acupuncture. I tried it once , but needed a different doctor who cared. Take care and stay away from the jabs. You'll be in worse shape.

@@donnalawrence8593 What do you think about the shots is so bad? I would consider, but am afraid. My spine doc of 10 years, who I trust says they're an option if the pain gets difficult to tolerate which it sometimes does.

@@spirituallysafe As the Queen of Spiritual Israel, the Catholic Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary is a powerdul intercessor who can obtain blessings and favours and all kinds of graces from her Son that He otherwise wouldn't be inclined to give us, just like the gebirah in the Davidic monarchy of Old Testament Israel. Also, the Bible itself is a product of the Catholic Church's religious tradition. The Bible isn't a magic book that fell down from heaven fully assembled. Jesus didn't leave us with a Bible, He left us with a Church. The Church existed before the Bible, and it was the Church that gave us the Bible. Where in the New Testament does Jesus tell His Apostles to write down some of the things He said and did and compile the writings into a book? Nowhere. And where in the New Testament does it tell us which books are scripture and which books belong in the Bible? Nowhere. It was the Catholic Church that decided the canon of the scripture at the councils of Rome, Hippo and Carthage in the late 300s. So why do you accept the Bible, which is a man made tradition of the Catholic Church, but reject the Church that gave it to you?

Not only are there miracles at Lourdes but often small favours are granted. After spending days at Paris Disneyland, my feet were very painful. At Lourdes I sat through Mass thinking about adding Lourdes water to a bath to soak my feet. I went down to the grotto and sat for awhile and then left and walked away. 10 metres I suddenly realised there was no pain at all. The pain did not return for that trip. Thank God and Our Lady for the little favours.

I can't imagine not helping my children; I'd give my life without any hesitation to save my children. That's parental instinct. So many Ukrainian people pray and pray for the invasion to end and God is not helping them. In the 1930's there was a terrible, caused by the government famine and four million people had starved to death!! They prayed and prayed then too! During the WW2 six million people had died in the hands of German soldiers and then more were murdered by the Russia, and God must've seen how people were tortured by German doctors in concentration camps and again, God didn't come to their rescue.😭 Maybe, were overestimating God's ability to intervene? I always wonder how The Vatican Church can justify the riches they surround themselves with, the luxury they live in, the gambling ( investing on the stock market), aquiring properties around the world, whilst telling us to be poor. Everything they do is against Jesus's teachings. And the conduct of the Catholic priests who abuse children, makes one think, why don't they fear God? I still pray and pray, as repeating the prayer keeps me sane. God gave us an intelligent brain and free will, you'll most probably say and he doesn't want to interfere in our lives. Or, he doesn't exist? The Archbishop of Canterbury has said he often questions the existence of God. Thank you 🙏 ❤️
