Episode 62: I went to Lourdes! // Marian Apparitions & Miraculous Healings

Episode 62: I went to Lourdes! // Marian Apparitions & Miraculous Healings

By |

Tune in to hear about Jacque’s experience visiting Lourdes, the site of a Marian apparition, and our discussion on how apparitions and miracles are authenticated. 

“Between February 11th and July 16th 1858, Bernadette Soubirous, a 14-year-old peasant girl, experienced 18 apparitions of the Virgin Mary in the nearby Massabielle grotto. During the 9th vision, an underground spring was revealed. The Holy See currently recognizes 70 official miracles attributable to Lourdes.”

Episode 58: Leaving the Wrong Relationship and Stepping Out in Faith – An Interview with Maria Gari

By |

How do you find the courage to leave a relationship you know is wrong and step out in faith that God has something better planned? We are so grateful to talk to Maria Gari (@runningmyselftogether) about her experience ending a long-term relationship. A few questions we ask Maria: 

  • How did you find the courage to step out of the relationship after investing so much hope and time into that person?
  • What is your advice for healing and moving forward after a break up, especially a long term relationship, where you pictured and planned a future with them?
  • What is your advice for women who feel they could be in the wrong relationship but are scared to leave?
  • What is your advice for a woman in a season of waiting?

Maria Gari is the founder of RunningMyselfTogether, a ministry dedicated to bringing Christ’s light to women through running and mental health awareness. She is a cradle-Catholic who discovered her worth in Christ while working through her eating disorder recovery. She now writes, speaks, is a run coach, and leads pilgrimages to help women understand who they are as daughters of God and eradicate the stigma around mental health in the Church.
