Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes: Investigating medically unexplained cures | 60 Minutes 

Keep clinging to Jesus, He will help you carry the crosses of this life. May God bless and protect you always! Merry CHRISTmas🙏🏻✝️🕊😇

Praise Jesus.

Amen, and God be with your spirit.

God Lord Jesus Bless you in your strive in Life. Your Faith will carry you through🙏🙏

Penance to "our" Cross !!! The "IMMANUAL" knows our pain, he see's sorrows (Matthew 11:28-30). "Lower lumbar, all of thee above & sciatic." My Lazarus moment = 6/18/2005, collapsed on the steps of Saint Patrick's Catholic Church. (significance) My sister's birthday is the 17th of March. My GOD-daughter tought me what true love really means. "We don't know where the wind comes from or where it goes"

Amen! God bless us all and heal us where we need 🙏🙏🙏

Yes like when you pray to God before the football game for your team to win, so that god will let you win and not your sinful opponents? God sounds so intelligent and smart…just kidding. Lol!!!!!!

I recall when my mom had meningitis a special prayer request for her recovery was introduced to the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes and I cannot exclude the possibility that we recovered her due to this gesture. 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.

Amen 🙏🥀🌹

How else will the coming together of church and state be pushed in these last days unless the political mouth starts appearing like they are coming in line with the religious complex system that is pushing ecumenism?

Yes, and it is a tear jerker!

I was thinking the same.

Yes I didn’t watch it but read the comments instead because I thought it would be another bigoted propaganda piece against the Church. If it is honest and respectful that is different. With main stream media I have opted out for the most part.

About time

Thanks be to God 🙏🕊️📿🌹

I believe in miracles.god is a compassionate god,our creator and our doctor body and souls.praise to god,the healer.amen

Thank you Jesus and Mary for healing this young man, while he was a baby. God is good in everything 🙏🙏🙏

Wow. Love this. Not all miracles are of physical healing. How many spiritual healings go untold? Beautiful.

Amen , let lord save her soul 🙏

I agree! Acceptance is a miracle in and of itself. I suffer with a chronic illness and I admit I haven't fully accepted it myself. Perhaps I should make a pilgrimage to Lourdes or a similar holy spiritual place. It will probably make a huge difference in my life.

My condolences no matter how long ago. Glad she got what she needed

@@donnalawrence8593 What a compassionate statement. My condolences as well.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Praise the Lord 🙌

@@djazM For what? For giving him the scary diagnosis and then saying just kidding?

How blessed! I’m praying for my healing miracle 🙏

Praise the lord

You should take Artemisin

I pray for your total healing. ♥️🤲❤

God bless you, Ann! I will pray for you. 🙏🏼

❤AMEN ANN ❤

Amen ❤

Fantastic. God bless you.

Especially in these times. We need more coverage of God' blessed places.

@@prezadent1 God doesn’t give diseases nor does he cause them. Hard to understand if you haven’t dove into Christian theology before. It’s a lot to take in and can’t be understood in one comments section conversation but Christians have good reason to trust God allows healing for some and not for others but that that either way, those can lead us to an everlasting life in Heaven.

@@prezadent1 We don't get to live our lives as humans in the Garden of Eden. Humanity got one chance at that, and blew it. So we are given challenges to deal with and puzzles to solve so we won't be spoiled brats who take everything for granted.

Legacy media do not want such stories too much.

Yeah, keep promoting the mythology and give dozens or hundreds of people false hopes.

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!

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

@@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.🙏🏻

Please pray for my daughter Alicia that something similar happens to her. She left the Catholic Church, had herself "re-baptized" in a non-denominational and has mental health issues including substance abuse.

@Julie Elizabeth- you’re in our prayers @October Dawn what an amazing story. Praying for you 🙏

I will pray you and for us all! I believe in our Lord, The King of Kings, and all the angels and saints. Amen!

I’m not Catholic, I am Pentecostal , Spirit filled Christian woman. Your testimony is powerful. Keep on telling the world. The Lord works in and through us as we are each able to comprehend. He speaks to each of us in a different fashion and experiences. Each is precious when it is from Him. Praise God! From Whom all blessings flow.

No attacks. Faith is deeply personal and sharing your experience can benefit others. I am not Catholic but I believe thousands are healed at Lourdes and other places. Bless you and your journey of healing

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

@@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!

Its God that cures ,Our Lady does intercedes for our prayers !

@@utubefreshie miracle happens but only to the trusting heart ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘. God bless you and your family 👪 🙏 ❤️

@@eloisadominguez6321 Thank you! Blessings to you and your family too! 😊

@@BellaFirenze Colega medico: lo que tu llamas "disparate" yo llamo "contribucion" a la discusion en '60 Minutes.' Este no es el foro para discutir la "explicacion medica," lo cual requiere various estudios en patologia, laboratorio, radiologico, etc. Yo era parte del equipo cirujano y cuide del paciente - no me contaron la historia.

@@BellaFirenze People signing to forums with A.K.A. names, such as "InBoccsChiusa" can give opinions and lack finesse - like you!

I believe you, and I understand why the Church is this rigorous to accept an unexplicable cure as a miracle. I have my own miracle, not health related, a car coming at me so fast I stopped at a stop sign and did not proceed as normally anybody would, when I saw a car, a blur really, going so fast, in front of Me. I know my guardian angel saved me, I never told anybody, don't talk about it but I know.

That's a miracle. You are definitely a great person to pray for patients.

I’m inspired by your story, but just because something can’t be explained by science doesn’t mean it’s right to immediately insert god as an explanation.

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.

Yes, 2Uahoj you phrase your thoughts very well. Yes, I agree. Faith plays such an important role in cases like these, and I'm not so sure the role of faith is discussed enough.

@@jamesirwin8917 Faith is trusting in the outcome, even when it isn't what was asked for in prayer and supplication.

I agree. Many ”healings" are spiritual...as Joni Erickson once said, some healings come when we 'go home to HIM'. (PARAPHRASED obviously.). Some healings are psychological healings.

As a child in church, we would sing, Sometimes God answers "Yes" when we pray, sometimes God answers "Wait" when we pray... Sometimes God answers "No" just because he loves us so... But I know God always answers when we pray.

Beautiful, may God bless and protect you always🙏🏻❤✝️

St. Bernadette Pray for us.

Are you are believer in grammar?

@@Shontaku Don’t be rude. Entirely unnecessary.

@@ShontakuBrother, at least use correct spelling if you are going to insult people

a EXACTLY & a longer one is needed 😢

Yes it is God (YHVH) who is wonderful, not the "universe". God created the universe by his power and might.

@abigail You don’t have to be religious to know that God exist. Humble yourself and accept there’s higher power who created all things that is The Lord God Almighty. Who are we but dust.

@@robinjoseph4949YES Amen to that!

What a beautiful story! And the various faiths involved too. It was all that collective faith and positive energy and good will bestowed on your father that made a difference. I personally dont think the specific religion matters but the belief and faith in God or that Higher Power. Im glad you had that extra time with your dad. Thanks for sharing. :)

When you acknowledge the universe, you acknowledge God, who created it. I am happy your father was given 1 year longer by the grace of God. The priest has a divine link to God, and I believe through his prayers, your father was given healing. A miracle. What a beautiful thing.

Yes! Same here on going to confession.

This is the greatest miracle of all

Only 70 alleged confirmed "miracles" in over 100 years - sounds like they are hard of hearing!

Amen!

@@prezadent1go to 6:40 in the video, that’s her

@@prezadent1 just like the Jews who didn’t believe Jesus cured the blind man. They even brought the parents in for questioning about his blindness from birth and didn’t even believe what they told them. Those that don’t believe are not given the grace to believe because they cling to an obstacle that prevents them from believing.

@@prezadent1 how much do people pay? None so your accusations of money making is false as it come, just try another one, all those Doctors are fake according to you?

@@prezadent1 you are mad 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Otherwise nobody cares what you think, people like you are those know it all people. You can’t prove it is money making, otherwise only hatred and jealousy can make one use lies and propaganda to support his or her idea.

@@prezadent1 well 300 physicians and 8 years long investigation isn't enough for you, am sure , even if Mary herself appeared in infront of u ,u r not gonna believe. There's medical records of sr. shown in video of years prior and there maybe photos of her too , its it might be not available or not show in this documentary. No one is gonna earn anything with these expect souls for heaven. If church invest in business,they can be ×100 more rich rather than faking these (fake according to you). Also , it's your soul, if you repent no one's gonna earn anything else you and heaven. So don't be blind , think for yourself and open ur heart to recieve grace,which is far greater than everything the world can offer you. Amen , praying for your soul and faith 🙏✝️❤️

The miracle is from God.

Why?

Mary did not and does make make miracles. Only God does. Read the Bible for true doctrine rather than following religious tradition.

@@jacovawernett3077 yes, and he chose to use the water to bring it about.

@@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?

AMEN!!

Boy, that's humility isn't it.

You don't necessarily have to go there. Ask for what you want.

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. Surgery rate is not impressive, so no to that, lastly legal thc, if it even works.

May you be healed we pray this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, St. Michael the Archangel and the Holy Trinity, be a consolation and strength to all who are sick, suffering in all aspects of their lives. Amen. 🙏

Pray.

Do you know of any amputee that can make such a claim?

@@moonshoes11 You will wait a log time for a reply.

@@prezadent1 Lol.

@@moonshoes11 No, but I know for sure there are amputees in Heaven because they have placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. What SD said is a personal experience. Sometimes even though you have belief and gritty faith, it does not mean you will get what you want. By submitting to His perfect will, from God you will get what is necessary for your salvation.

@@prezadent1 obviously don’t know who Nick Vujicic is then 😅

Amen!

Jesus Christ, is our intercessor before the Father, day and night. He suffered on the cross , He DIED ON THAT CROSS. DID YOUR SAINTS DIE ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS? No. Did your POPE DIE ON THAT CROSS? No. Only JESUS. ALL PRAISE BELONGS TO HIM. why do you GREIVE THE Holy Spirit by praying to anyone or anything else?

@stephaniepiazzese2602 Do you ask other Christians to pray for you when you are in need? The angels and Saints make intercession before God for us sinners. The Saints in heaven offer our prayers to God. God bless

Or, no gods actually exist and it’s all fiction.

@@moonshoes11 i was once like you.. then i got Baptized and Confirmed. God changed my entire life and healed me of generational trauma. The truest love i have ever known is from Jesus. Praying for you!🙏🏻

@@sage8554 I was baptized and confirmed, and attended Seminary. So, you were never like me. Stop lying to me, stop lying to yourself. Your greatest delusion is believing an imaginary person healed you and loves you.

@Derrick Bridges Lol. False.

@Derrick Bridges Or, no gods actually exist. Can you ever demonstrate any god exists? If so, How?

And Medjugore, Conyers Georgia and Garabandal, Spain

Faith will come back to you in times of need,Mother Mary care for you 😇

Me too!!

Ask St. Bernadette to pray for you. You don't have to ask for anything specific, just one friend to another.

@@pattiday431 It's funny, because I was a big "Hail Mary" person and spoke with God often, but, my life never improved, it just got worse and worse - so, sadly, I just stopped. I also was big on prayers to St. Jude. But, strangely, it never occurred to me to pray to St. Bernadette.

Wow!! I've been praying for the healing of my son for 22 years now and altogether he is even worse now. I've prayed so much, aloud for seven hours nonstop, on my knees on hard floor and God doesn't want to know us. 😢

@@E-Kat ​ Don’t give up! Your prayers are not being ignored and God is so very near, even though it feels like He has abandoned you. Remember Job in the bible, and his wondering why God allowed such suffering. But God’s ways are not ours. It must be so hard especially if you’ve been waiting years. So many saints waited and prayed for years too. So don’t give up. Your trust and perseverance will be rewarded, even if it’s not in the way you expected. I will pray for you and your son too. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Catholicism is a beautiful and glorious religion, as well as history. ✝️🕊️ Whatever happens to the Catholic Church, Stay true to the Catholic faith.

The Shroud of Turin has been scientifically proven to be a medieval fake.

It is full of tacky plastic Jesus and Mary statues 😢 All we need is Jesus the Saviour.

Hi do you know if 3 days are enough to visit Lourdes or is a week better? Please let me know your opinion. Thanks.

@@anaalfaro8054 Hi Ana 3 days is plenty of time to visit Bernadette house, tour the Castle, obviously visit the Grotto every day / night. View the main church,, Attend the international Mass in the enormous underground church. If you have a car i would strongly recommend on day 2 you drive to the Pyrenees less than an hour away breathtaking views and you can see the highest waterfall in Europe, you will easily be back for the candlelight evening procession, and all the restaurants are open late so no problems there either.

@@pap130 Thank you so much for the information 🙏

@pattimiller9157 As St. Bernadette said, for those that believe no explanation is necessary, for those that don't, no explanation will do.

Amen 😊

The Eucharist once cured me of back pain.

I'm so happy for you!! I wonder, if God is everywhere, why do we have to go there to get a healing? It's so strange. ♥️🤗

Hi would you say 3 days are enough to go to Lourdes? I have a choice to go for 3 days or 1 week? What do you suggest? Please let me know. Thanks.

Truly a loving mother of our God❤️✝️

Amen Sister.

On a side note, I subbed to your youtube channel a few months ago and I just commented on your comment, very funny, God Bless.

@@xtreme_survival7879 amen! Thank you so much! 🙌🏿🪷🙏🏿
