For half her life, 83-year-old Sister Bernadette Moriau suffered from cauda equina, a disorder of the nerves and lower spine. To walk at all, she needed a back and leg brace, an implant to dull nerve pain and massive doses of morphine. She told us she had exhausted all treatment options, so, in 2008, her doctor convinced her to make a pilgrimage to Lourdes in southern France. “I felt some kind of heat coming into my body. I felt relaxed… I heard this inner voice again telling me, ‘Take all your braces off.’ I didn’t think twice… And my foot that used to be crooked was straight,” Sister Moriau recalls. She says she removed her braces and stopped the morphine - all at once. A decade after her cure, the Catholic Church declared her case the 70th miracle of Lourdes. #60minutes #medicalmiracle #catholic #lourdes #catholicchurch
