Healing of Aurélie Huprelle
Lourdes, France · 20th Century

What Was Truly Miraculous
Aurélie Huprelle had cavitating pulmonary tuberculosis. Against medical advice she went to Lourdes with the National Pilgrimage. She arrived exhausted on 21 August 1895 and was carried to the Baths. There she felt radically cured. She was taken to the Medical Bureau twice; the cure was confirmed. The Bishop of Beauvais officially recognized the cure as miraculous on 1 May 1908.
Why It Can't Be Dismissed
The Lourdes Medical Bureau gathered documentation; the International Medical Committee (C.M.I.L.) affirmed the cure was inexplicable in the current state of medical knowledge. The Bishop of Beauvais recognized it on 1 May 1908. Tuberculosis was the leading cause of death before antibiotics. Rapid, complete cure without drugs is medically unexplained.
