The Piigrimages to Paray-Ie-Moninl.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The pgrimages to Paray lie -Monial are phenom-
enon which seems to make both Europe and Amer
lea stare with wonder. VIII you allow one who
noes not think himself a fanatic one word not OF
vlndcation OF so many OF the poblest and the best
IN dear old France, as well as England, but in sim.
PIE explanation OF the fact itsefY Would you a
eehever In the Old Testament have deemed 1t
wrong IN the Jews, while Gods ark dwelt in Shiloh,
AND many domestic and national calamities pressed
them, II they came in bands from town and country
10 visit the Goo who dwelt behind the veil In the
tabernacleY Assuredly, those who believed in the
God OF lsrael would not have deemed their act one
OF superstition
NOW, we Cathollcs believe in Christ; we believe
IN HIN as III the one true living God made man
60 be mans brother helper and saviour in everv
need We believe that as truly as He hefore ,bo
incarnation manifested Himself in Shiloh ia those
who came to o1er their worship and snpplication
before the ven OF the tabernacle, 40 truly did uc
manifest Himself in Paray-le. Monial to the lowIy
Margaret Mary ip order TO excite our faith In Him
the sole healer, helper and saviour.
In an age which saw unbeiief waxing so strong
tlcs the old traditional devotion TO the heart OF
HIM whose side had been pierced In death and on
orr need need revived il franee and the numSe m
stfument OF this reDSwM was the poor nun,
Margaret Mary. IL wac omewhat Ike Gods
choosing over again tAe shepherd Lad DAVID
20 manifest the fact that He still dwen
IN Israel, and was at hand 60 saTe His people. II I
believe in Gods manifest presence and interfer-
ence in the one case why stoald l now come, In
this nineteenth Christian century. and maintain,
a prtoris that what Is proven 70 have occurred at
PaTay- lie hOnIa IS absurd anddh3t the devotion or
these illusJrI0us French and English pilgrims is
preposter0us Tine Catholic world believes that
Is return OF gratitude and personal friendship
IRON every individual CHRISTIAN TO Him who lived,
labored and died for our sOuls' sake. We believe
thst heart pierced In death for US, and that In
u we AL and each have our nome and refuge. This
ls me meaning OF the devotion TO the Sacred
Heart You must reject the most beautiful in
stances OF Gods helpful presence in the Old Law
superstitious belief. and condemn a. absurd the
devotion and gratitude OF the Israeites, or allow
tbat we Catholics are not the fools one VI your
contemporaries would make out. 81. .
