En Route to Our Lady of Lourdes

As I write, I am just getting ready to depart for the renowned shrine of Our Lady in Lourdes, in southwest France. I’ll be in the company of 300 pilgrims – – 100 sick, and 200 caregivers – – all arranged by the Knights of Malta, historically celebrated for their solicitude for the sick.

All pilgrims travel to Lourdes for healing — soul, mind, body. It’s a place where everyone is convinced, “I need God,” itself a miracle in a world tempted to conclude we can ignore, deny, forget about, or oppose the Lord.

It’s hardly a spa, since it can be an arduous and sacrificial journey. But rare is he/she who returns without a report of a grace, a real “boost” in one’s interior life.

To the legendary grotto I will bring your intentions!
