Lourdes Prayer

I have to tell you something that happened to me today as well. There have been a few moments during this journey that have been miraculous.

Every day I say a series of prayers. One is a prayer to our Lady of Lourdes for healing. It is in a card that has me enrolled in a healing mass at the Sacred Grotto in Lourdes, France, as well as at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows, in Belleville, Illinois. A friend of my father enrolled me.

In the card, across from the prayer, is a Bible verse. I have not read it much, other than when I first received the card. I focus on the actual prayer. For some reason, today I read it. It says, “Thus says the Lord…”I have heard your prater and seen your tears. I will heal you.”” (Isaiah 38:5). It brought tears to my eyes. The timing was amazing, and the fact that I read it was far from coincidental. This is not the first time something like this has happened.
