Isaiah 35
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
Isaiah 61
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners;
The prophesies you referred to were explicitly fulfilled by the ministry of Our Lord Jesus, not by Marian apparitions.
Mathew 11
Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
I have already amply demonstrated from Holy Scripture that Satan can mimic the miraculous works of God in order to deceive and lead astray.
As I stated before, signs and wonders always accompany a message. The power behind the miracles is not established until the validity of the message is established. I would need to be certain that that message was from God, which is validated by its agreement with the prior revealed word of God as recorded in Holy Scripture. So I would ask two questions:
1) What was the message proclaimed by the Marian apparitions?
2) Does that message align perfectly with what God had already revealed to the Church in the Holy Scriptures?
To cut to the chase: you accuse the healings at Lourdes of being acts of Satan. I am sure they were done by God.
Any further conversation here is a dead letter.
