Christy Wilkens made the long trek to Lourdes with her husband, Todd, and their toddler, Oscar--who was plagued by mysterious seizures--through a program with the Order of Malta. In the spiritual memoir Awakening at Lourdes, Wilkens shares that while Oscar's condition did improve slightly after their visit, the real healing took place between husband and wife, who unexpectedly discovered a deeper love for each other, a renewed sense of appreciation for their faith community, and an abiding confidence in God's mercy.

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 myst...
