Lourdes Shrine
Observes 100th
Anniversary
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press Correspondent
One hundred years ago this
week, a 14-.year-old peasant
girl named Bernadette Sou
birous set out from the village
of Lourdes, France, to gather
firewood along the banks of
a stream in the Pyrenees
Mountains.
She came home with a
story that baffled and dis
turbed her parents a story
that many people are still un
able to believe.
Bernadette said she saw a
vision of the Virgin Mary in
a stone grotto. Her experience
was repeated 17 times in the
next few weeks. During one
of these visits to the grotto,
Bernadette dug with her
hands in the rock at the
instructions of the vision, she
said and uncovered a
spring. ,
Becomes A Shrine
Today this spring, still
flowing at a rate of 8,000 gal
lons a day, is second only to
Rome as a pilgrimage place
for Roman Catholics through
out the world. It also draws
many Protestants and non
Christians a total of some
two million visitors a year.
Lourdes has become a
shrine because thousands of
desperately sick, people have
become well after plunging
into the icy waters of Berna
dette's spring.
Fifty - four of these cures
have been formally accepted
by the Catholic church as
miracles.
The church's standards for
proclamation of a miracle are
very strict. They require,
among other things, that the
patient must have been suffer
ing from a clearly organic
ailment, such as cancer or a
bone deformity rather than
any condition like paralysis
that might have a psychoso
matic cause.
Requires Medical Proof
There also must be detailed
medical documentation, in
cluding laboratory tests, of
the patient's physical condi
tion before and after bathing
in the spring. Follow-up medi
cal examinations are conduct
ed for at least three years
after the alleged cure to as
certain that it is permanent.
A medical bureau at Lour
des examines all pilgrims
who claim to have undergone
miraculous cures.
Since this bureau was set
.up 22 years ago, it has record
ed more than 3,000 recoveries
from disease or deformity
which doctors held to be be
yond explanation by medical
science.
The Catholic churcri has
taken pains to emphasize to
centennial year pilgrims that,
for at least 999 out of each
thousand who go there, Lour
des has only spiritual benefits
to offer.
But how do you account
for the thousandth person
who goes into the baths an
invalid and comes out whole?
For those who do not believe
in miracles, Lourdes remains
a great unanswered question.
St. Luke's Church

Luke's Methodist church will
