The Beauty of Lourdes.
Today (11 Feb) marks the first apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1858 to a 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous. Between 11 February and 16 July of that year, Our Lady appeared eighteen times, and showed herself to St. Bernadette in the Rock of Massabielle, then a wasteland by the river Gave, at Lourdes. On 25 March, she said in the local patois to the little shepherdess: "I am the Immaculate Conception." Since then Lourdes has become a place of pilgrimage and people come from all over the world to the Grotto to pray, to bathe and drink the waters from a spring discovered by St Bernadette, and to receive healing of body or soul from God.

I wish I have money to travel to Lourdes
Me too!
Augustine Trung, if you are looking for a miraculous water, there’s an old Chapel - a Marian shrine - in Medan, North Sumatera, Indonesia. It’s called ‘Annai Velangkanni’.
I haven’t been there yet, but, I’ll make an effort to visit it one day!, God willing; Amen!
You may get more info on this old Chapel and its new Church on the internet, plus the Youtube videos.
