Praying for a miracle at Lourdes

Posted by David Paul Appell on October 19, 2026 at 1:59pm

Here my husband José and I are standing in front of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception (also known as the Upper Church), the largest of the four parts of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. It was built in 1871 in Neogothic style, with a 230-foot central spire.

And what were we praying for? Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to prevail in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Well, you see how that worked out. Maybe it´s because we´re not religious, or...? 😕🤷
