Louis and Gabriel, the "twins miracles" of Cotignac
After two false layers, Marine and Thomas had the grace to welcome twins.From Lourdes via Cotignac, Marine found from the Virgin and Saint Joseph intercessors and faithful supporters.
When Marine and Thomas pose at the Sanctuary Notre-Dame de Grâces in Cotignac (Var) this September morning, it's a time for Marine.A year ago almost to the day, the Niçoise and her mother had taken a photo in the same place during their pilgrimage to ask for the grace to welcome a child."We were on October 28 in Cotignac," recalls the thirty -something.I drew the water from Source Saint-Joseph, we prayed and placed a candle.We also went to Notre-Dame de Grâces to pray.And on December 17, I learned that I was pregnant!"Surprise, the couple does not wait for a child as they imagined but twins!
Prayer chain
A happy news that brings together a trying year.In June and then in October 2020, Marine made early miscarriages."Fortunately, I could count on my husband.But between these tests and confinement, isolation was very hard.In the midst of pain, the proximity of her mother and the figure of the virgin are real supporters."I went to Lourdes with my mother during the summer.She has a mother's heart and it is with her that I can live my faith most intimately, because my husband has not received a religious education."At the sanctuary, Marine cannot come back:" I came across a golden mosaic of the Virgin that I had seen in a dream.It was a very strong moment that gave me confidence on my way, I told myself that she was watching over me.»»
