The sanctuary of Lourdes has announced its 69th official miracle — the curing of an Italian woman following her visit to the baths at the Marian shrine in 1989.
Danila Castelli, a wife and mother, had experienced a spontaneous and severe blood pressure hypertensive crisis, as well as other serious health problems for which she underwent a hysterectomy, an annexectomy and a partial pancreatectomy.
When she came out of the baths she said she experienced an extraordinary feeling of wellbeing. After five meetings (in 1989, 1992, 1994, 1997 and 2010) the Lourdes medical bureau certified she had been cured.
