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

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.”

Nothing has to be “wrong” with you to see a therapist. There’s an idea/stigma that in order to go to therapy you have to have severe trauma, dramatic diagnosis/disorder, etc. However, there are many reasons why it may be helpful for you to go to therapy.
