This miracle has been affirmed by the Catholic Church. 70 miracles that occurred at Lourdes, France, have been confirmed the the Church since 1858. The following has just been published in “Catholic World Report”;
"79-year-old Sister Bernadette Moriau is a religious of the Oblate Franciscans of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Her convent is located in Bresles within the Diocese Beauvais in the north of France. She had been suffering from a condition known as “cauda equina syndrome” for nearly fifty years of her life. CES is a compression of the spinal nerve roots that often leads to a permanent paralysis of the legs. This condition forced her to undergo four operations on her spinal column between 1968 and 1975. One foot became permanently twisted requiring her to wear a brace and use a wheelchair. By 1987 she had lost the ability to walk.
But ten years ago, while on a July 2008 pilgrimage to Lourdes, Sr. Bernadette Moriau was miraculously cured. According to a February 11th La Stampa article Sr. Bernadette recounted:
’ In February 2008 my doctor invited me to the diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes scheduled for July 3-7, 2008…I had never been there since I became ill…In the cave I felt the mysterious presence of Mary and of little Bernadette….In no case have I ever asked for healing. I had asked for the conversion of my heart and the strength to continue my path as a sick person.
But it was when she returned home to her convent the healing occurred:
On July 11th, during our time of adoration in communion with Lourdes, I relived in my heart the strong moment of the blessing of the sick with the Blessed Sacrament and I really felt the presence of Jesus…At the end of the adoration, I felt a feeling of warmth in my body…I felt good…I returned to my room and, there, a voice told me to ‘take off your braces.’…“Surprise. I could move.
Her fellow sisters in the convent were witness to this immediate change in her condition. According to an Associated Press report, Sister Bernadette immediately did away with all her aids—from braces to morphine—and took a five kilometer hike a few days later."
