Matthew 12:30-33 [30] Whoever is not with me, is against me. And whoever does not gather with me, scatters. [31] For this reason, I say to you: Every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. [32] And anyone who will have spoken a word against the Son of man shall be forgiven. But whoever will have spoken against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven, neither in this age, nor in the future age. [33] Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree evil and its fruit evil. For certainly a tree is known by its fruit.

I watched a film about Our Lady of Lourdes and I got to thinking, is the fruit of the visions of saint Bernadette of Lourdes good fruit? Has the fruit of this vision which has been faith and healing - some disappointments too - been good?

Healing is not fruit, that's leaves. It says nothing. Jude healed people and it was good, but his fruit was bad.

I meant the fruit of the visions among which is healing for the sick, the troubled, even for the poor. It is fruit because these graces come from God's hand as blessings to the needy. It is not fruit of the one who saw the visions but of the truth of the visions (if they are indeed true).
