Lourdes: a personal reflection


(Vatican Radio) The Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes which falls on the 11th of February coincides with the day we mark the World Day of the Sick . Join Monsignor Peter Fleetwood as he shares with us a visit to Lourdes with his sick mother many years ago : "..I can honestly say that the miracles of the 1850's become distant memories when one sees the recurring miracles at Lourdes today..many times in the course of my work I am tempted to say , 'why bother staying here?'...My own frustrations paled into insignificance on that special pilgrimage." ...
A programme produced by Veronica Scarisbrick for the series: "Why Bother ? Staying Catholic despite it all..."
