Oil – Staging Walburga https://staging.walburga.org Thu, 16 Feb 2023 23:31:22 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.3.8 192481327 St. Walburga’s Oil https://staging.walburga.org/2021/10/21/st-walburgas-oil/ Thu, 21 Oct 2021 22:24:57 +0000 https://staging.walburga.org/?p=2102 Every year on October 12 the holy oil from Saint Walburga’s tomb in Germany begins to flow, and it continues until her Feast Day on February 25. Due to the testimonies of many people who have experienced God’s healing power after anointing themselves with the oil and asking Saint Walburga to pray for them, it seems that this quote from Saint Thérèse of Lisieux may also be applied to our patroness:

“I wish to spend my heaven in doing good upon the earth.”

The images on the walls are memorial plaques depicting miracles attributed to Saint Walburga, donated by patrons in gratitude for her intercession.
