I begged the Virgin Mary to help me

Reine Marie was miraculously healed at the baths of the Shrine of Lourdes (France) in September 2015. Here is her testimony: "A little more than two years ago, a surgeon told me that I would never recover the use of my legs. I abandoned myself to prayer. I begged the Virgin Mary to help me to walk again…

Last September I went to Lourdes on a pilgrimage with Lourdes Cancer Espérance. At the baths, as the Hospitaliers helped me enter the water, I felt a great sensation of warmth from the tips of my toes to my neck. As they saw me coming out of the bath without any help, the ladies exclaimed: “Miracle!” I cried as I saw myself walking unaided. They placed the statue of Our Lady of Lourdes in my arms. I embraced it with all my strength. I dared not believe what had just happened to me…

On my return, my doctor considered this cure as extraordinary. For him, it was a miracle. Eventually, I sent my testimony to the bishop of my diocese… I received a further grace: my 41 year old daughter, who had not spoken to me for over eleven years, came back to me on her birthday. When I told her I had been miraculously cured in Lourdes, she cried with joy!
