Lourdes is now a site for Catholic pilgrimage, receiving over 80,000 pilgrims a year. It renowned for its cures and approximately 7000 people have sought to have cures confirmed as miracles, but only 68 of these have been declared as scientifically inexplicable by both the Lourdes Medical Bureau and the Catholic Church. This number is so small as to suggest that these cases were likely to have been cured or gone into remission anyway, without any divine help.
That such a tiny proportion of those seeking cure were cured or went into remission could show that God is not the agent for these cures. It could show that God is unable to help the ill and infirm, no matter how fervent their prayers and sincere their pilgrimages. It could also show that he chooses not to help Christians over atheists and members of other faiths.
Interestingly, the truth of the apparitions of Lourdes is not an article of faith for Catholics. But if the Church is not convinced about the truth of the apparitions, then the cures can not even be called miracles, because they were not the result of divine intervention. God probably has no involvement at all.
NOt only Lourdes is a place of miracles.. but all the parts of the world are filled with miracles.. imagine this : "EVERYDAY we are experiencing 200 miracles, we cannot only recognize it because we dont have the will to recognize it" miracles are everywhere because God is everywhere..

AnswerI think that Jesus performed miracles to show the power of the God and the existence of the God----It was indeed important for Jesus to do miracles, seeing the miracle more people believed that he was the son of god.
Jesus worked miracles to demonstrate his divinity and power, to fulfill prophecy, and to bring about healing and deliverance to those in need. His miracles served as signs to validate his teachings and to show God's love and compassion for humanity.

Jesus did miracles of healing on needy people, not because he was seeking fame, but because he had compassion on the people. So his miracles show us his love and mercy and compassion, attributes of the Almighty God who himself is love.
