Lourdes & God's Healing Power
Learn about the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes, France, when Our Lady revealed herself as the Immaculate Conception and then left us a powerful devotion that has given the world thousands of healings over the past 164 years. God's healing power continues in many unseen ways and through the work of many modern-day apostles, such as the Healthcare Professionals for Divine Mercy.
