Il PRINCE H0HENLOHE.
i A new cure obtained by Prince Ho.

in the diocese Of Mans, in France. We
i give the facts, as they have been repre-.
T1enledto US by a respectable Clergyman
who was m eye witness of them. niary
| Dorfzop, poor girl, now A3 years old
| but very much respected for her virtues
was subject since the age Of seventeen,
to nervous disease of avery extraor-
! binary nature, and all The remedies
which had been given her proved UNI
successful II occurred to her friends
to write to the Prince on her behalf
, The letter was sent OF the beginning OF
last November, the Prince answered Il
very punctually--we give his letter here
to show in what a spirit of piety it is
dictated.
Z Il have received the letter which you
did me the honor to write to me, and
shall comply with your request with
much pleasure. | doubt not that you
will offer UP your prayers with all the
dispositions which can render it effica-
cioue, lively faith, purity of conscience,
undivided love, unbounded confidence,
and profound humility Could our D-
vine Saviour Jesus Christ, in making
prayer precept, render the perform
ance Of il sweeter and easier than in
promising in several parts of his Holy
Gospel, 10 grant ali that we should ask
Of his Father in has name? BE then
animated with strong faith, which ex-
cludes all doubts and hesitation, with a
truly filial and unlimited confidence
in the promises OF Father, whose
goodness and mercy are infinite as his
omnipotence. But let us RENE nber,
that, in asking to be delivered from the
evils which atiiict us, we ought, above
all things, to propose to ourselves, the
glory which would accrue to God from
the cure, and that we ought to desire it,
principally in order to be in state to
serve him the better and to fulfil more
faithfully the duties of our situations
Let us remember also that Christian
perfection consists in the conformity of
our will to that Of God. Let us await
his benefits with the most perfect resig-
nation to his adorable DEGREES, and let
us thank him every day of our lives If
to render him more like unto his Divine
Son, he wishes to effect our Salvation
by the Cross, and thus to put us in pos
session Of the celestial Inheritance. /
wiH pray on Tie sth Of January, 1924,
between the hours of nine and ten, for
the intentions mentioned in your letter,
and viii. repeat my prayers on the
2fth Of January, between nine and ten.
May the Grace of our Lord jesus Christ
be always with you. Your devoted
servant,
prince ALEXANDER HoHENLOHE.
"Vienna, Sd December, 1923"
This letter did not reach Evrbu until
the 22d of January, before which day
her friends had reason to fear, from the
violence of her disease, that her end was
approaching Sunday, the 25th, two
Masses were offered up for her inten-
tons; she tainted during both, but at
the moment Of the Elevation of the Sc
Cond, she recovered her senses and ex-
claimed, "Thanks be to the good God
give me my clothes" She rose without
assistance and remained long enough on
her knees to prepare herself for COM
munion; she received it little before
nine o'clock; it was not until the after
noon that they recollected the difference
between the meridians of Paris and Vi
emma, so that the cure had taken place
at the moment when the Prince was at
prayer. In short this cure has been
such that the patient, incapable hitherto
OF moving step, repaired alone to
church, and assisted at High Mass, to
the astonishment of the spectators
Since this time she walks and works.
Her person has become straight, her
wounds have closed, and her diseases
have disappeared. Three weeks had
passed when they wrote to us, and her
strength was re-estabished, and every
thing permanent cure. The Bishop
has charged one of his WEARS General
to ascertain the facts, and they have
kindly promised 10 communicate the
result of the inquiry to us.-No. geo,
