15. “Awakening at Lourdes” with Christy Wilkens
His Beloved Catholic Podcast
Our guest on the podcast today is new Catholic author and special needs mother Christy Wilkens. Her new book with Ave Maria Press, “Awakening at Lourdes: How an Unanswered Prayer Healed Our Family and Restored Our Faith” will be released this fall. It's the story of her family's pilgrimage to Lourdes with the their child Oscar, the miracles they received and the ones they didn't, and why the wide gulf between those two things is awash in grace upon grace. On this episode Christy speaks candidly about doubting God and losing hope all together. Throughout her story Our Lady just won’t let her walk away from God and pulls her close to the Lord at every turn. Christy is also releasing a new eBook today called The Message of Lourdes, explaining why the words of the 1858 apparition are for all of us today, too.
