Thanks m’lizzy. She has a very clear memory of the baths and in fact remembers most of the entire experience. By the grace of God she had been accepted as a “malade” by the Knights of Malta and they sponsored our entire journey. At the line for the baths the Hail Mary is prayed, led over a loud speaker while the groups wait their turn. Regina (my daughter) was asked to lead a decade and she was able to - at 6 years old. (One of the Malta dames helped her, but she didn’t need too much help). The French ladies who help out at the Baths were impressed, because, alas, they were too used to American children being unruly brats, even the sick ones, and they were pleasantly surprised. Clearly I was very proud.
Many thanks for continued prayers. The candlelight procession where everyone sings is also spectacular - you can probably find a video of it somewhere.
I would take it the coldness is a subjective sensation, rather than being able to put a thermometer in it and see a physical temperature drop?
Be careful with your attitude in the spiritual. The Lord should get glory for any good work carried out using the reportedly blessed water. If it’s just Lourdes getting glory and attention, watch out for your spiritual point of view because that’s a sign of the enemy horning in, and God won’t brook that attitude (nor will it get blessing for you).
