Lourdes: "his liver cancer has disappeared"

Sister MAXIMILIEN (Nun of l'Espérance). Her liver cancer has disappeared ... Born in 1858, residing in the convent of the Sisters of Hope, in Marseille (France). Disease: Hydatid cyst of the liver, phlebitis of the left lower limb. Healed on May 20, 1901, at 43 years old. Miracle recognized on February 5, 1908 by Cardinal Paulin Andrieu, bishop of Marseille. We are on May 21, 1901. A 43-year-old nun affected by liver cancer arrived in Lourdes the day before, in complete anonymity. Today, Sister Maximilien dares to appear at the Bureau of Medical Findings, in front of an audience of doctors who scrutinize her, judge her. The religious tells the incredible story of her illness, the evolution of which abruptly stopped the day before. At 43, sick for 15 years, always bedridden for 5 years, she was considered incurable. In addition, his health had been complicated by phlebitis in his left leg. At the convent of the Sisters of Hope in Marseille, everyone knew that medicine gave no hope. With this prospect of a near death, she arrived in Lourdes on May 20, 1901. As soon as she arrived, she was led to the swimming pools. A few minutes later she came out on her own legs and recovered! The swelling of his abdomen and leg had completely disappeared!

PRAYER to the MADONNA of LOURDES

Maria, you appeared to Bernadette in the crevice of this rock. In the cold and dark of winter, you made you feel the warmth of a presence, the light and beauty.

In the wounds and darkness of our lives, in the divisions of the world where evil is powerful, it brings hope and restores confidence!

You who are the Immaculate Conception, come to the aid of us sinners. Give us the humility of conversion, the courage of penance. Teach us to pray for all men.

Guide us to the sources of true Life. Make us pilgrims on the journey within your Church. Satisfy in us the hunger of the Eucharist, the bread of the journey, the bread of Life.

In you, O Mary, the Holy Spirit has done great things: in his power, he has brought you to the Father, in the glory of your Son, living forever. Look with love as a mother at the miseries of our body and heart. Shine like a bright star for everyone at the moment of death.

With Bernadette, we pray to you, O Mary, with the simplicity of the children. Put in your mind the spirit of the Beatitudes. Then we can, from down here, know the joy of the Kingdom and sing with you: Magnificat!

Glory to you, O Virgin Mary, blessed servant of the Lord, Mother of God, Temple of the Holy Spirit!
