Still, this story reveals Our Lady’s special protection of this statue, however simple and unpretentious. And everyone can learn a lesson from this. Unexpected events may occur that set fire to a world full of threats and evils. In the near future, in the midst of disasters that we cannot even imagine, Our Lady—especially Our Lady of Lourdes–will go through them, fearless and untouched, with the symbols of the devotion of the faithful. And those who believe, even if they are a minority discredited by the atheist or unbelieving majority, will be recognized amid the tragedy as Heaven’s beloved children.

What a beautiful story thank you so much for posting it.

Whew. Just got done reading the thread. Doesn’t seem anyone has a physical explaination for this event (no “debunking” that I can see). Just the usual “Catholics worship Mary” pablum that usually pops up on threads that contain the “M-word” in their titles. Fortunately that pablum proves nothing.

It’s a beautiful story for those with a devotion to Our Mother. I actually hope this thread goes another 200 posts with the “Catholics are idolaters” nonsense. The more that see the OP the better in my opinion. Its beauty outshines all the dreck in the replies (in this case)

God Bless all who read the story!
