The Hospitality of Our Lady of Lourdes of Madrid, an archdiocesan pilgrim service organization, concluded its 101st pilgrimage on May 19, serving 800 participants, one of whom apparently was cured of severe visual impairment. This extraordinary event, however, will have to be studied before it can be qualified as a miracle.

The most recent miracle at Lourdes, No. 70, was officially recognized in February 2018. This case could become No. 71.

The adviser to the archdiocesan association of faithful, Father Guillermo Cruz, sent a statement to the different groups that made up the pilgrimage, calling on them to accept what happened with humility and simplicity, following the example of St. Bernadette.

“The experience of making a pilgrimage and discovering the love of God through our Mother, the Virgin Mary, as St. Bernadette teaches us in simplicity and humility, will always be the greatest grace that is granted at Lourdes, since it is the one that renews life,” he said.

I read the story of a verified cure from Lourdes many years ago.
A woman went blind due to the optic nerves in her eyes withering.
She was at a Eucharistic procession in Lourdes and as the Eucharist was approaching where she was stood, she began experiencing intense heat in her eyes but not painful. Her vision returned to her over the course of 24-48hrs; she began by seeing the light, then seeing the outline of things and finally she could perceive as we all do.
She was examined by doctors in Lourdes and then several times when she went home. All the examinations revealed the optic nerves that had withered years before were still withered - yet this woman now had perfect vision.

All the recorded cures at Lourdes can be reviewed by any doctor who chooses to do so.
