Everyone talks of miracles that happened from the water at Lourdes, can you tell me thoses miracles. I have just been to Lourdes, and truly it is a special, calm and overwhelming place, but the lines of ill, tortured, suffering people who have come there for a miracle, what happens to their faith when it does not occur. Why are some people granted miracles, why not give the entire world a miracle, oh I know we have been given freedom of choice, but why should that stop a miracle occuring to save at least the young hungry and suffering children of the world. Suffer little childred to come unto me, what does that mean. I have yet to read of a miracle of healing ordained by the Church that has been due to the grotto at Lourdes, (which by the way is encased in perspex or some such thing and you cant touch the grotto itself), just through the taps. The Lady never said the grotto water was miraculous, she was testing Bernadette’s faith by asking her to wash her face in the spring but there was only dirt, but Bernadette did wash in the dirt and the Lady mad it a spring. Where does it say it has healing powers.

Hi;

Bernadette is covered with a wax mask, although the body was in a good state of incorruptability. Padre Pio was the same, in good condition, but not perfect. Again, a wax mask was used at his “viewing” in recent months.

Faith need not be based upon such elements as these. Pope John XXIII, as the Vatican admits, is not a miracle per se, but he, too, is remarkably well-preserved.

I do not need well-preserved corpses to prove anything to me.

Thanks

Miracle is the one which cannot be explained by normal intelligence.
Jesus himself was a miracle but how many believes in him now and who believes in an eternal hell after death. I personaly believe that millions go to hell and a very few go to Heaven. Real miracle will happen after death only, when we see Hell and heaven, where we cannot decide to choose.

Thanks for reading, everyone.

Mikey: I’m still waiting for some evidence regarding your assertion that the Vatican says the body of “Good Pope John” is no miracle. Obviously, if that is true, I’ll stop referencing his particular case as belonging to the “incorruptibles”. By the way, I’m not “lying” to my friend, because as far as I know, he is incorrupt. Besides, the evidence of the incorruptible saints are hardly the crux of my argument as to the authenticity of the Church.

Back to Pope John for a moment – even if you are correct (again, I have yet to see any official statement that he’s not incorrupt), that still doesn’t negate the evidence of all the other cases…St Bernadette (the crux of the article, was, after all, about her), St. Padre Pio (a quick Google image search on him will provide plenty of evidence that his own recently unearthed body was found incorrupt), and all the other incorruptible saints of the Catholic Church.

Also, what of the numerous healing miracles reported at Lourdes? As far as the miracles recorded in the Gospels being allegedly bogus…give the ancients some credit. They were not easily duped. For example, we still can’t figure out exactly how they built the Egyptian pyramids without the aid of hydraulics. Jesus’ own contemporaries thought he was a miracle worker, and this is recorded by secular historians of the time (I’d be happy to provide some references if you’re interested). “St Albert’s” above comment is quite relevant to the issue as well, regarding God intentionally leaving room for faith.

John: “No one can have skin like that after being dead for so long.” I agree that this is not naturally possible. But that’s the point: it’s a supernatural miracle.

Mary: A thin layer of wax cannot prevent a body from decomposing. I’m not sure if that’s what you were trying to say – please correct me if I’m wrong here. Are you suggesting that the bodies of Bernadette and Pope John are artificially preserved? If so, do you have any evidence for that?

Again, thanks for taking the time to read, folks!

You may want to explain to Brad that what he is actually looking at in that photo is a wax mask covering the face and hands of a preserved corpse. Encourage him to seek out info about other ‘incorruptibles’. He won’t be particularly impressed with the photos of the others. They look like creepy mummies…but at least they’re not fake…

That picture is not real. No one can have skin like that after being dead for so long. It’s a trick.
