—— and the doctors there could not explain it. Her bone marrow had been at less than 10% prior and there was no explanation.

Please do not diss Lourdes without knowing the facts ——

Don’t confuse us with facts. ;-)

People who say they're Christian but who deny the power of Christ and the power he granted the Apostles are addressed in Scripture here:

2 Timothy 3:5 "Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid."

Such folks are a penny a dozen these days, only one tenth the price of any sort of lazy pastor or priest you might want.

“...Lourdes...”

To understand Lourdes one must read the book by Alexis Carrel “The Voyage to Lourdes” (published 1939) an atheist French doctor who won a Nobel Prize, who was converted on the basis of a Lourdes miracle.

Also a must read is “Saint Bernadette Soubirous”, by Abbe Francois Trochu who gives an account of what actually happened to Bernadette (whose body is incorrupt, by the way).

Also, a complete understanding of Lourdes is not possible until one understands how the spring came about and actually experiences the baths. Actually a complete understanding of Lourdes will never be possible, but this is a start.

I highly recommend both books!!! The book by the doctor I read before we went and it allows a deeper context for the domain, etc.
