Please notice that she did not even go to Lourdes.

She simply performed a novena; but she fasted during the nine days, and her desire to be cured was so great that she spent her nights in prayer.

At last, on the ninth day, whilst she was drinking a little Lourdes water, she felt a violent commotion in her legs.

She picked herself up, fell down, picked herself up again and walked.

All her little companions, who were astonished, almost frightened at the sight, began to cry out 'Lucie can walk! Lucie can walk!' It was quite true.
