St Alphonsa Miracle boy' : Ginil had clubfoot, but began walking after a '99 visit to Alphonsa's tomb. It was the "miraculous" cure of Ginil Joseph, a young boy suffering from clubfoot-a congenital condition in which the foot is turned inward-that's being cited for granting her sainthood. Dr Aleyamma Korah of the Vimala Hospital, Kottayam, was among those interviewed by the Church tribunal in the prelude to the canonisation. She testified that a clubfoot doesn't get corrected naturally. It can be rectified only through surgery. "This child was brought to us completely cured when he was two years old. The parents say they put the child on the tomb of Sister Alphonsamma at Bharananganam and it all happened after that," she says. Ginil's father, Shaji Jospeh, a sales tax official, recalls it was on May 11, 1999, a Saturday, when the miracle happened. "We returned from the tomb and while we were at the evening prayers, reciting the rosary, Ginil gently stood up, firmly on his feet. It was so unlike him. Earlier, his limbs used to droop almost lifeless. If this is not a miracle, what do you call it?" he says. https://www.facebook.com/reel/648497960917344/?mibextid=rS40aB7S 9Ucbxw6v

Another St Alphonsa miracle The miracle boy Abraham—formally known as Thomas Abraham Athialil—was miraculously healed from severe, congenital clubbed feet in January 1947. His healing was meticulously investigated and ultimately approved by the Vatican as the official miracle that led to the beatification of Saint Alphonsa. The Background of the Miracle The Condition: Thomas Abraham was a 10-year-old boy born with deep-seated, congenital deformities in both legs (classified as equinus, varus, adduction, and supination). The Intercession: His family and local Catholics prayed fervently to Sister Alphonsa (who passed away in July 1946), asking for her intercession to heal his twisted limbs. The Event: On the night between January 29 and 30, 1947, Thomas experienced a sudden, complete, and lasting healing. His twisted feet straightened entirely, and he was able to walk normally.
Miracle through the intercession of Mother Miriam Thresia Chiramel (1876 - 1926, Kerala, India). "The investigation of the miracle required for beatification was held in the Trissur eparchy from 28 April 1992 to 26 July 1993 and was validated on 22 January 1999 before receiving the approval of the medical board on 16 November 1999. Theologians then voiced their own approval on 5 January 2000 . The miracle was that of the cure of one Mathew D. Pellissery, who was born in 1956 with congenital club feet. He could barely walk with great difficulty on the sides of his feet until he was fourteen. After 33 days of fasting and prayer by the whole family, invoking the help of Mariam Thresia, his right foot was straightened during sleep on the night of 21 August 1970. Similarly after 39 days of fasting and prayer his left foot was also straightened overnight during sleep on 28 August 1971. Since then, Mathew has been able to walk normally. This double healing was declared inexplicable in terms of medical science by as many as nine doctors in India and Italy and thus met the last canonical requirement for her beatification. It was declared a miracle obtained through the intercession of Mariam Thresia by the C.C.S. on 18 January 2000 before the Pope himself issued final approval on it on 27 January 2000. John Paul II beatified Mariam Thresia on 9 April 2000 in Saint Peter's Square. Mathew Pellissery was present there during the beatification ceremony at St. Peter's Square." She is now Saint Mariam Thresia having been Canonised by Pope Francis on October 13th, 2019.
The Miracle Approved in Rome After the elevation of Fr. Chavara to the position of Venerable, the cure of the congenial deformity of the legs of Mr. Joseph Mathew Pennaparambil happened in the month of April, 1960 was approved in Rome as a miracle. Joseph was born club-footed with congenial deformity of both the legs from his very birth itself. Joseph's family was pious but poor. Though his legs were deformed Joseph started going to school. He was always accompanied by his elder sister. It was when Joseph was seven years old that his family for the first time heard about Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara and the many favours received through his intercession. From that time onwards the whole family started praying for the healing of the deformity of Joseph's legs through the intercession of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara with great devotion and faith. They experienced nothing special during this period, however, they continued to pray with faith. After almost a month, one day Joseph and his sister were going to school. As usual with the school going children in the pious families of the villages of Kerala, Joseph's sister told him to pray to Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara for the cure of his legs and asked him to recite 1 Our Father, 1 Hail Mary and 1 Glory. As they both prayed and walked together, all of a sudden Joseph felt that his right leg started shivering. When Joseph pressed his right leg on the ground and tried to walk further his right leg became normal. He continued to have pain for a few days whenever he was walking, and later that pain also subsided. This healing of one leg gave the family great joy and hope. The whole family started to pray with greater fervour and devotion for the healing of the deformity of the left leg also. They continued their prayer and petitions for quite some time. On the fine morning of April 30th, 1960 Joseph had started experiencing pain on his left foot. However, discarding the pain Joseph and his sister went to their elder brother's house. On their way, the fingers of the left foot became normal and gradually his leg also became normal. Thereafter he could walk normally pressing both the legs on the ground. Joseph believes that it was because of the intercession of Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara that he could walk normally. Joseph was 31 when this miraculous cure was considered in Rome for the canonization process in 1984.
Third clubfoot miracle via intercession St Alphonsa Bishop Sebastian reported: About ten years ago, when I was in a small village in Wayanad outside Manatavady, I saw a boy walking with some difficulty, using a stick. As he approached me I noted that both of his feet were turned upside down. I had a stack of holy cards in my pocket with Alphonsa's picture on them, so I pulled one of them out and gave it to the boy. When I told the boy that he should pray to this woman for the cure of his feet, the boy-he was quite smart for a ten-year-old boy-replied, "But I'm a Muslim, and, besides, I was born this way." I replied that God is very powerful, so let's pray. A few months later, a boy and a gentleman appeared at the house here. I didn't recognize them at first but soon learned that it was the Muslim boy with his father, here to tell me that his feet had been cured through their prayers to Sister Alphonsa. They showed me the calluses on the tops of his feet, and you could see the marks which had been made from the years of his walking with his feet turned under
Yvonne Aumaître, the daughter of a doctor (Dr. Aumaître from Nantes). She suffered from clubfoot (pied bot). Previous treatments: The foot had already been surgically treated, but the procedure was unsuccessful. Time of healing: Yvonne was a toddler of 21 months old at the time of her healing. Nature of healing: The healing is described as sudden and complete after the child was immersed in or came into contact with the waters of Lourdes. Although her case is extensively documented in the literature on the "great healings of Lourdes" (Les grandes guérisons de Lourdes) and historically attested by glass positives (projection images), it is one of the thousands of healings that, while documented as "remarkable" or "inexplicable," are not necessarily among the 72 officially recognized miracles of the Catholic Church.
Below is a case which has been passed on to the present Commission by a previous Commission way back in the 1990s. It was originally in the form of an Affidavit, testimonies under oath, before legal authorities – all the more to emphasize the veracity of the cure, the truthfulness of the witnesses and the rigorous documentation required by the Church. We have given the Affidavits a narrative format and have left the wording practically intact, although shortening it to fit space available. I am Sr. Melania Ma. Sunga of the Religious of the Assumption. I was born on 31 December 1941 in Candon, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. I am the niece of Bishop Edmundo Abaya of Ilocos Sur. He is my mother’s cousin. Being a blood relative, Bishop Abaya took care of my mother Rosario Abaya-Sunga when the latter became an orphan at a very early age. I was born with a club foot. Because of this handicap, I could never walk without limping and wear shoes or slippers until I was miraculously cured in 1949. Even while an infant, my parents consulted a family doctor as regards the possibility of an operation to straighten my foot. However the doctor advised them that I was too small and too weak to undergo any surgery. He further advised them that despite the operation, there would be no assurance or certainty that I could walk normally. The doctor’s advice brought so much sadness to the family. My parents took it to mean that I would never be able to live a normal life when I grow up. Bishop Abaya was not spared this distressing news. Mary Mediatrix Intervenes Sometime in 1949, when I was eight years old, Bishop Abaya, then studying at the seminary of the University of Santo Tomas, went on a pilgrimage to the Lipa Carmel Convent together with the Rector and fellow seminarians. During the said pilgrimage, Bishop Abaya remembered me and my pitiful condition and asked the Carmel Sisters for a bottle of water previously placed overnight in front of the statue of Our Lady of Lipa - Mary Mediatrix of All Grace. The Sisters obliged and, in addition, gave him the Tagalog version of the novena to Our Lady, Mary Mediatrix of All Grace. Bishop Abaya gave the bottle of water and the Tagalog novena to my mother when he paid us a visit in Candon, Ilocos Sur. For nine consecutive days, my mother prayed the novena and in the evening before sleeping, she would rub some water from the bottle on my club foot. In the morning of the ninth day of my mother’s novena, my father Graciano Sunga and my brother Abelardo were very surprised to see me walk without the usual limp. I also noticed that I could walk straight… My eyes then went to my club foot. A normal foot was in place. My defect or handicap was suddenly gone… As far as my family and Bishop Abaya were concerned, there was no doubt that I was miraculously cured of my defect
Joachime DEHANT Born in 1849 in Velaine/s/Sambre Lived in Gesves (Belgium). Cured 13.9.1878, in her 29th year. Miracle on 25.4.1908, by Mgr Thomas Louis Heylen, Bishop of Namur. The cure is the oldest one recognised later on as miraculous in Lourdes, of a "non-native""... a sick-pilgrim from abroad. Joachime was 29 years old when she arrived there on the evening of 12.9.1878, with an oozing and gangrenous ulcer on her right leg. This ulcer covered two thirds of the surface of the side of the leg, and what was even more serious was its depth, which led to a permanent contraction of the muscles, causing a club foot. The lesion was at least ten years old, and owing to this affection which no treatment could cure, her general state of health was very grave. The next day, the 13th, she took baths during the morning, her leg wrapped in bandages. After the second, there was no trace of the ulcer. The flesh and the tendons had virtually become normal again, and the skin was new and rose-coloured. And after another bath later on, her foot returned to its normal position. For thirty years her health remained excellent and was confirmed by another medical check. The Bishop of Namur accepted the verdict of the Commission which he had set up, and on the 25.4.1908, proclaimed that this miraculous cure must "be attributed to the powerful and efficacious intervention of Our Lady of Lourdes"
Jeanne Tulasne Case: Jeanne Tulasne was born on September 8, 1877, in Tours (France) and was cured on September 8, 1897, at the age of 20 in Lourdes. Jeanne had suffered from tuberculous peritonitis since the age of 18. After six months, the disease spread to her spinal cord. Within a few months, the lesions were frightening: destruction of two or three vertebrae with spinal curvature and hunchback; in addition, there was an abscess on her left femur, muscle atrophy, and clubfoot. From September 27, 1896, Jeanne was bedridden. On August 7, 1897, the treating physician confirmed the diagnosis. She now placed her last hope on Lourdes. According to her family doctor, a trip there in her condition was a risk. Nevertheless, at the beginning of September 1897, she joined the diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes in such poor condition that she had to be placed in a wicker basket. On the morning of September 7, she arrived inLourdes, and on the evening of the same day, she was immersed in the water basin, without any success. On September 8, her 20th birthday, Jeanne participated in the procession with the Blessed Sacrament, in which her diocesan bishop carried the monstrance. He blessed her once as he passed by, then returned a few minutes later and blessed her a second time. And at that very moment, Jeanne suddenly felt healed. During the examination at the doctors' office the following day and in the subsequent year, 1898, the physicians confirmed the complete, sudden, and permanent cure of a long-standing case of spinal tuberculosis Medical report Diagnosis: Spinal tuberculosis (Pott's disease) with clubfoot. Prognosis: No prospect of cure and life-threatening (infaust quoad valetudinem et vitam). Therapy: Ineffective. Type of cure: Sudden, complete, and permanent, medically not explicable.
Sister Bernadette Moriau (also spelled Bernardette or Bernadette), a French nun (Oblate Franciscan of the Sacred Heart of Jesus) from the Beauvais area, experienced the 70th officially recognized miracle at Lourdes. It was declared by the Bishop of Beauvais on February 11, 2018, after investigation by the Lourdes Medical Bureau (BCM) and the International Medical Committee of Lourdes (CMIL). lourdes-france.com +1 Medical Condition (Cauda Equina Syndrome)Diagnosis: She developed symptoms starting around age 27 in 1966 (lower back pain that progressed). Doctors diagnosed cauda equina syndrome (also described as pluriradicular involvement of lumbar and sacral nerve roots, or a form of spinal stenosis). This involves compression or damage to the bundle of nerve roots at the lower end of the spinal cord (resembling a horse's tail), which can cause severe pain, weakness, sensory loss, foot drop, and paralysis in the lower body. Progression and severity: It led to quasi-paralysis, chronic sciatica, permanent inflammation of nerve roots, a twisted/limp left foot (in a backward or crooked position), and significant mobility impairment. By later years, she was declared fully invalid (around 1980 or 2002 worsening). Prognosis was poor, with expectations of full paralysis. ijclinmedcasereports.com +1 Treatments and interventions (spanning ~40 years):Four spinal surgeries (first two in 1968, third in 1973 for nerve root inflammation, fourth in 1975). Rigid cervical-lumbar corset/brace (back and leg braces/prostheses to support spine, pelvis, and keep the foot straight). Implanted spinal neurostimulator (in the lumbar region) delivering electrical impulses to manage leg pain. High doses of morphine and other pain management at an anti-pain center. She had a period of partial remission in the 1990s but deteriorated again. She required the braces, implant, and morphine to manage pain and walk at all; without them, mobility was severely limited or impossible. The Healing Event (July 11, 2008)At age 69, she joined a diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes (arrived around July 4, 2008) at her doctor's suggestion, after exhausting other options. She participated in baths at the shrine and Eucharistic adoration. On July 11, 2008, around 5:45 p.m. during adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (while spiritually united with Lourdes pilgrims), she reported:Sudden relaxation and a sensation of warmth/heat spreading from her heart throughout her body. An inner voice instructing her to remove all devices (braces/corset, leg/foot prostheses, stop morphine and neurostimulator). She immediately did so, and her previously crooked left foot straightened. She walked unaided without pain for the first time in decades. This was witnessed by her sisters. The change was described as instantaneous or near-instantaneous, with no convalescence period. She stopped all pain medication and aids abruptly. Medical Investigation and RecognitionInitial documentation: Her doctors (e.g., generalist Dr. Christophe Fumery, rheumatologist Dr. Christophe Alliaume, pain specialist Dr. Frank Becigneul/Allary) provided reports confirming the exceptional recovery with no medical explanation. Lourdes process: The case underwent rigorous review per established criteria (e.g., those from Cardinal Prospero Lambertini: organic illness, poor prognosis, no effective treatment, complete and lasting cure without convalescence, etc.). Multiple committees reviewed extensive records, including prior imaging, exams, and follow-ups. Additional tests (X-rays, scans, labs, electromyogram, psychiatric evaluations) were conducted. CMIL vote (2016): 26-1 in favor of the healing being unexplained by current scientific/medical knowledge. Declaration: Recognized as medically inexplicable and, by the Church, as a miracle attributable to divine intervention. It is the most recent (as of available data) and one of the oldest recipients. Follow-up confirmed the cure was lasting (she remained healthy years later, walking normally without aids or pain). This case is documented in her memoir Ma vie est un miracle and analyzed in medical case reports. The Lourdes Medical Bureau emphasizes strict scientific scrutiny; only ~70 cases out of thousands reported have been recognized as miraculous. ijclinmedcasereports.com Note: While medically unexplained per the investigations, naturalistic explanations (e.g., misdiagnosis, psychosomatic factors, or rare spontaneous remission) are debated by skeptics, but the documented history, multiple surgeries, and objective signs (e.g., foot deformity) were central to the review. Primary sources like doctor letters and her accounts provide the core details.
Pour la première fois le temoignage d'une miraculée de Lourdes Le 11 juillet 2008 à 17h45 alors qu’elle vient d’accompagner un pèlerinage dans la grotte de Lourdes, sœur Bernadette Moriau sent une présence, une énergie qui rayonne dans son corps. Quelques heures plus tard, paralysée des jambes depuis des années, elle prend conscience qu’elle peut à nouveau marcher ! Pendant dix ans, près de deux cents médecins et professeurs vont se pencher sur cette guérison stupéfiante pour finalement décider qu’elle « reste inexplicable dans l’état actuel de nos connaissances scientifiques. » Une autre commission animée par l’évêque Jacques Benoit-Gonnin reconnaîtra quelques mois plus tard « le caractère miraculeux de cette guérison comme signe donné par Dieu par l’intermédiaire de Notre Dame de Lourdes. » C’est ainsi que Bernadette Moriau devient le 11 février 2018 la 70e miraculée de Lourdes depuis 160 ans. Dans ce texte d’une grande sincérité, l’auteur ne cesse de s’interroger sur les raisons mystérieuses de ce miracle : Pourquoi moi ? C’est l’histoire simple et unique d’une femme qui a consacré sa vie aux autres et à Dieu, qui se livre avec tous ses doutes, ses certitudes, ses espoirs et sa foi. Cette confession aussi sincère que modeste est suivie du rapport médical qui explique précisément les conditions de ce miracle – ainsi que de nombreux témoignages de ceux, religieux, laïcs, médecins… qui ont été témoins ou qui ont suivi Bernadette et l’enquête qui a conclu au miracle.
Une Infirmière miraculée, Henriette Bressoles Fille d'un officier supérieur, Mademoiselle Bressoles s'était engagée à 18 ans comme infirmière militaire dans une une ambulance chirurgicale volante. Par son comportement héroïque elle mérita quatre citations, la médaille de Reconnaissance Française et sera même proposée pour la Légion d'Honneur. Le 16 juillet 1918, dans la région de Dormans, elle porta secours, sous un violent tir de barrage, à un prêtre-soldat dont le bras et la jambe gauche viennent d'être arrachés par des éclats d'obus. Comme elle s'efforçait de soulever de terre le grand blessé, elle ressentit brusquement un craquement et une très vive douleur dans la colonne vertébrale. Rentré à l'ambulance, elle éprouva une grande peine se redresser. Malgré ses douleurs elle refusa toute évacuation jusqu'au soir où un obus tomba à quelques mètres d'elle et la projetta à terre. Henriette fut retrouvée une heure après, évanouie avec un éclat dans la jambe. Après cet accident la courageuse infirmière continua son travail malgré des signes de parésie ( premier stade de paralysie, souvent caractérisée par de la faiblesse du membre atteint) apparus au niveau de sa jambe droite. Finalement, le 21 avril 1919, elle doit s'avouer vaincue par la maladie et est admise à l'Hôpital temporaire de Zuydcoote (Nord) avec le diagnostic suivant: "Mal de Pott (2) dorso-lombaire, en service commandé". Le 13 août 1919, elle est transférée à l'hôpital de Jouy-en-Josas, annexe de l'hôpital de Versailles. On l'immobilisa alors dans un appareil plâtré (gouttière de Bonnet). Le calvaire d'Henriette va cependant se poursuivre et des accidents méningés très graves apparaissent et nécessitèrent ponctions lombaires et injections de sérum antiméningococcique. De plus Henriette va progressivement développer les symptômes d'une paralysie des membres inférieurs (paraplégie) avec troubles sphinctériens. Les médecins décidèrent amors de l'évacuer d'abord sur l'hôpital Villemain à Paris et ensuite le 5 décembre 1919 à l'hôpital militaire Pasteur de Nicequi possédait un service pour des tuberculeux osseux. Le docteur Levezzari confirma alors le diagnostic et décrivit ainsi sa patiente : "Seule, la tête était un peu mobile, ainsi que les bras. Toute tentative d'extension ou de flexion des muscles était suivie de douleurs violentes dans toute la colonne vertébrale. La malade était immobilisée dans une gouttière de Bonnet". Pendant tout son séjour à l'hôpital Pasteur, des phénomènes méningés se manifestent accompagnés de température jusqu'à 39°-40° et de syncopes parfois de longue durée. Le 26 mars 1920, l'infirmière militaire quitte le service du Dr Lavezzari pour rentrer dans sa famille après avoir été réformée. La maladie hélas poursuivit son inéxorable évolution (3) et à deux reprises, croyant sa dernière heure venue, on fit venir un prêtre qui lui administra les derniers sacrements. Le 27 janvier 1922, la commission spéciale de réforme de la subdivision de Nice lui accorda une pension définitive d'invalidité à 125%, justifiée par l'infirmité suivante: "Mal de Pott lombaire, paraplégie complète avec incontinence d'urines et de matières fécales, anesthésie remontant à deux travers de doigt au-dessous du mamelon ; accidents méningés intermittents." En 1924 Henriette souffrit d'une grave crise d'urémie durant un mois avec rétention des urines et des selles. Sa mère décide alors de conduire sa fille à Lourdes. Le 23 juin 1924, le docteur Fighiera, médecin-chef de l'hôpital Sainte-Croix à Nice, fait une description de sa patiente dans le certificat médical destiné en vue du pèlerinage: "Cette malade, dont l'état est définitif, est atteinte de mal de Pott lombaire et cervical avec déviation de la colonne et déformation de la quatrième et cinquième vertèbres lombaires. La tête n'est pas soustenue et retombe en arrière. Cet état s'accompagne d'une paraplégie complète avec incontinence des urines , anesthésie totale de la partie inférieure du corps. Elle présente également des accidents méningés par intermittence avec douleurs dans la région cervicale. Il existe une déformation des jambes avec pied-bot paralytique du côté droit, déviation du tibia et du péroné, du côté gauche. Mademoiselle Bressoles a présenté, ce mois dernier, de l'oedème froid de la fesse droite et de la paralysie intestinale ayant nécessité de grands lavages quotidiens. Cette malade est dans des appareils de prothèse (corset orthopédique et gouttière des jambes, minerve etc...) elle se trouve dans un état d'immobilité permanente." C'est donc grabataire que notre infirmière arrive le 3 juillet 24 à Lourdes. Seulement quelques heures après son arrivée, elle assiste à la Procession eucharistique et éprouve un grand malaise au passage du Saint-Sacrement: sentiment de lassitude avec sueur abondante. transportée devant la grotte, elle ressent, alors qu'elle prie, un craquement général, très douloureux mais de courte durée. Elle fait part à sa mère de l'impression qu'elle éprouve d'être guérie. En même temps, son pied droit contracté en équinisme s'était redressé. Elle peut mouvoir son membre inférieur droit et toute douleur vertébrale a disparu. Malgré son appareil Henriette, pour la première fois en six ans, se redresse sur son brancard. Le lendemain elle est examinée au Bureau des Constatations médicales, présidé par le Dr Marchand. L'appareil enlevé, on trouve entre la quatrième et la cinquième vertèbre lombaire une légère concavité de la colonne vers la gauche qui paraît due à un affaissement des deux parties correspondantes des corps vertébraux. Toutes les apophyses épineuses sont indolentes à la palpation même violente ainsi qu'à la percusion: tous les mouvements du rachis se font avec souplesse. La sensibilité est revenue mais les articulations des genoux et tibio-tarsiennes sont fort ankylosées ce qui rend toujours la marche impossible. Vingt-quatre heures plus tard, Henriette est examinée par le même bureau: cette fois tous les signes de compression médullaire et du mal de Pott ont disparu. L'ankylose des articulations a considérablement diminué et est remplacée par une raideur douloureuse avec craquements. Après son retour à Nice, la guérison se confirme et le 19 septembre 24 le docteur Lavezzari a la surprise de voir son ancienne malade venir à sa rencontre pour lui ouvrir la porte, en s'appuyant seulement sur une canne. A l'examen qu'il lui fait subir, la colonne se montre entièrement souple. Il ne constate qu'un peu de gêne à la marche, due vraisemblablement à la longue immobilisation dans une gouttière. Le lendemain, le Dr Fighiera note, à son tour, que tous les signes relevés par lui dans son certificat de départ pour Lourdes ont entièrement disparu. A la suite des constations de guérison, le Docteur Marchand président du Bureau des Constataions concluait le 5 octobre 1924: "Les documents qu'on vient de lire ne peuvent à notre avis laisser aucun doute sur la réalité, la nature, la gravité, l'incurabilité des lésions dont Mademoiselle Bressoles était atteinte. Ils attestent en outre, et non moins préremptoirement, que la guérison de cette victime de la guerre s'est produite dans des conditions et des circonstances contraires à toutes les lois de la médecine, sans le secours d'aucun agent naturel et qu'il est par la suite impossible de l'expliquer par les seules ressources de la science humaine." Trente ans après, le 24 octobre 1954 cette guérison fut proclamé miraculeuse par l'Eglise après qu'une enquête eut révélé en 1941 que Mademoiselle Bressolles continuait à se porter de façon normale. Mademoiselle Bressoles est décédée à Lyon en 1961 à l'âge de 67 ans d'un infartus du myocarde, sans jamais avoir éprouvé quelque récidive de son affection antérieure. Dans l'histoire médicale de Lourdes, cette guérison opérée devant le Grotte, restera à jamais comme l'une des plus significatives..
