* June 13 – Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – 2nd apparition in Fatima: God wishes to establish the devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world             * A miracle proclaimed --- An initiative of the Association Mary of Nazareth  June 13 – Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – 2nd apparition in Fatima: God wishes to establish the devotion to my Immaculate Heart in the world             A miracle proclaimed Sister Luigina Traverso was born on August 22, 1934, in Novi Ligure (Piedmont), Italy, on the feast of the Queenship of Mary. She was not yet 30 years old when she began feeling signs of paralysis in her left leg. After several unsuccessful surgeries on the spine in the early 1960s, the bed-ridden nun asked the mother superior of her community permission to take part in a pilgrimage to Lourdes. She went towards the end of July 1965. On July 23, during the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, which she attended on a stretcher, as the Monstrance passed close to her, she felt a strong sensation of warmth and well-being and the urge to get up. The pain had vanished and her foot regained its mobility. On November 19, 2011, the CMIL (International Medical Committee of Lourdes) confirmed the cure as “unexplained at the present state of the sciences.” On October 11, 2012, Bishop Alceste Catella, Bishop of Casale Monferrato, decided to declare on behalf of the Church that the unexplained healing of Sister Luigina was a miracle.  fr.lourdes-france.org Sister Luigina Let’s pray together  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.   .
