Why so? Because any growth and consequently any restoration of the tissues of the organism is accomplished — and this is a scientific fact — by the increase and growth of the protoplasms and cells which compose every living body. Every existing protoplasm comes from some former protoplasm, and that from a previous one and so on, back to the very beginning; these generation (the fact is self-evident) are necessarily successive, that is, they require the co-operation of time. Therefore, in order that a natural force should be able to operate a sudden cure in an organic disease, the essential basis of life as it is in the present creation would have to be overthrown; nature as we know it would have to be destroyed and another created on a different plan. Therefore, the hypothesis of unknown forces of nature cannot be brought forward to explain the instantaneous cures of Lourdes. It is logically untenable. As a matter of fact, no natural cause, known or unknown, is sufficient to account for the marvellous cures witnessed at the foot of the celebrated rock where the Virgin Immaculate deigned to appear. They can only be from the intervention of God.

By the way, you don’t need to go all the way to Lourdes to experience God and the Virgin Mary, don’t you know that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Tabernacle of each Catholic Church around the World ? You can go to Him anytime at your convenience to say ‘hello’ to Him and He is waiting for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You asked, ‘What is the meaning of ‘Catholic’?’

The Answer: ‘Catholic’ is not a Christian denomination, ‘Catholic’ means ‘Universal’; thus we call ourselves belonging to the Universal Church. Just to let you know: the daily Church Eucharistic Celebrations are all the same no matter you are at which corner of the Globe.
