"This is your cross, and I am not going to take it away from you. I will be with you, and I will help you, but it is yours to carry."Christy Wilkens heard Jesus speak those words after she prayed for her son Oscars healing in her parish adoration chapel one bright September day. Almost a year later she would find herself in Lourdes, France, seeking a miracle.The grotto at Lourdes is known as a place of healing. But sometimes the miracle that occurs is not physical, but something much deeper. Wilkens made the long trek to Lourdes with her husband, Todd, and their toddler--who is plagued by mysterious seizures--through a program with the Order of Malta. In Awakening at Lourdes, Wilkens shares that while Oscars condition did improve after their visit, the real healing took place between she and her husband. Through their time at Lourdes, they discovered a deeper love for each other, a renewed sense of appreciation for their faith community, and an abiding confidence in Gods mercy.Persuaded by her husband to take the trip, Wilkens summoned her faith- faith in God, faith in her husband, and faith in the doctors and other helpers who surrounded them every step of the way--to embark on the journey of a lifetime. Recording their experiences with deeply personal yet highly relatable language, Wilkens offers a firsthand account of the traditions and culture of the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes and the shrines special servers, the Order of Malta. She also captures her own doubts, questions, and fears as she attempted to process the familys physical and emotional journey.The Wilkens familys story will help you learn to be open to what God has in store for you and to see that if you surrender control, open yourself to Gods grace, and lean on your community, you are never alone.The book includes a study guide for individual or group use.
