Do you know the holy spring in France, Lourdes near the Pyrenees, on the border with Spain? It all started when Virgin Mary appeared as a vision 18 times and told Bernadette, a local girl that the water under ground of this grotto had the power of healing.
As a provider of healing through clay and as a spiritual healer, I have always wanted to visit there. This half-term my dream came true, and I went there with my family.
It was paradigm shift experience for me as a healer. I
When I first visited Sanctuary, there was a woman greedily seeking healing powers. I felt a faint disgust for such a person.
But as I went to the sanctuary every day, fetched holy water for my daily drinking and cooking, attended Mass, and participated in the nightly torchlight procession, I understood. They are not greedy, they are enthusiastic.
Evening torchlight processions are held every night regardless of the weather, rain or shine. At the beginning, I was there just an observer, however gradually I was singing hymns and calling out the name of the Virgin Mary with others. I was moved by the purity of the people's faith in the Virgin Mary. And the Virgin Mary of Lourdes received and welcomed us with a very open heart. I learned that it is the mindset that healers should have.
By the way, I'm not Catholic, my family in Japan is Buddhist, so I'm more familiar with that, but I think they're both the same spiritually.
