The 72nd miracle of Lourdes, benefiting a 67-year-old Italian woman, was officially presented on Friday, July 25, 2025, in the Pyrenean city. After the rigorous controls applied to all miraculous manifestations observed in Lourdes, and entrusted to the Bureau of Medical Observations, this new extraordinary event was accepted as the 72nd miracle of the Virgin Mary.

The beneficiary of the maternal kindness of the Immaculate is a 67-year-old Italian woman, Antonia Lofiégo, née Raco. The miracle is not new, having occurred in the summer of 2009, when this woman, then ill, came to Lourdes during a pilgrimage and immersed herself in one of the pools fed by water from the miraculous spring.

It was in the cathedral of his diocese, located in the heart of the charming, steep town of Tursi, in Basilicata, that the miracle was officially proclaimed by Bishop Vincenzo Carmine Orofino on April 16. He formally recognized and declared "the prodigious miraculous nature of Mrs. Raco's healing and the unequivocal value of the divine sign of this healing."

This woman suffered from primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). The bishop recalled that, during the pilgrimage to Lourdes with the Union of Pilgrimages of the Italian Episcopate in 2009, Mrs. Raco "after a swim in the pools" felt an improvement in her health. She noted that "the effects of this unfortunate illness had immediately and definitively disappeared."

The recipient of the miracle initially remained discreet about the improvement she felt. Once back in Basilicata, she consulted her doctors, who confirmed the disappearance of her symptoms. In March 2010, she reported what was then only a "supposed cure" to the Lourdes Medical Examination Bureau (BCM). Five sessions of peer-reviewed medical analyses followed over several years.
