The latest Miracle

The last miracle involving Sister Bernadette Moriau happened in 2008 and was recognized in 2013.

The nun was 69 years old when she visited the shrine in Lourdes and attended a blessing of the sick ceremony. She had undergone several spinal operations several decades before, had been disabled since 1980 and was confined to a wheelchair ,suffering great pain.

On returning to her convent in Beauvais she prayed in the Chapel and felt a feeling of well being and heard a voice tell her to remove her braces. She was soon walking and without pain. The Committee of Lourdes declared that the changes were inexplicable and a miracle.
