The other day I came across a few prayer cards to Our Lady of Lourdes. Typically I go to Mass on the feast day, which is today. I thought it would be nice to go to the Newman Center for Mass with my friend who also was there when we buried my father 3 years ago today. He knows about my story visiting Lourdes and my devotion. However, the forecast called for snow, so I went to the center and to Mass yesterday. I brought the prayer cards with me to share with the group. My friend passed out the cards and I had an opportunity to share my story of miraculous healing with several young people. One of the girls said that at her house, she had a grotto and stream of water devoted to Our Lady of Lourdes. I loved that. Even though I didn’t make it to church today and it was the anniversary of my dad’s burial, I felt very peaceful, grateful, and connected because of my visit yesterday.

I Found God today sharing my story of Lourdes.
