The various occasion upon which he
had performed what he called miracles.
one notable occasion was in lso2'
when he and a fellow worker named
Rcdman were awakened one nlght by
:; woman who earnestly besought the
father that he would come out ana
save her daughter, who was dying Oh
typhoid fever. .. -.

that the command of the Lord was
upon me and | rose up. All | said to
my friend was: DO bring your rene

liiul relic, a piece of wood or lhe 'rue
cross. We had II long walk and went
as fast as we could. When we reached
the house the girl was dead she had
heen dead two hours and her body al
ready had been composed FOR burial
Dead Comes to life.
Upon an involuntary impulse, how
ever. which l felt to be inspired, l took
the relic of the cross from my friend
and laid it upon the girls breast. Then
in the words of the apostolic COM
mand l cried:
In the name of Jesus Christ say
unto thee, Arise.
slowly and stiffly the corpse arose in
bed and Redman turned to me ana
cried:

back to the first time when the word OF
the Lord came upon him. This was at
Plymouth, where d mother declined to
allow hc" children TO be baptized. Faith
e. Ignatius told her the curse of God
would fall upon her and within an hour
the curse fell Suddenly and without
warning the woman's 10-year-old
daughter was stricken with abject idi-
ocy and her whole body broke out from
head to foot with most loathsome sores.
The doctors We're at Il loss to diagnose
the nature of the seizure, but 1T came
home to the mother that through her
sin the retlbutory hand Of God had
touched her child.
''Then"' said the father. Il heard a
voice saying to me with greater and
greater insistency to go to this child
in my .lame.' Hurriedly l obeyed the
| divine command and went to the bed
/ side of the sick girl l commended
her To the care of the divine physician.
/ The answer to this prayer came almost
! in momentum answer OF an over
/ Whelming mercy and the miracle of d
! complete cure.
/ Another incident amongst many
/ other of which Father Ignatius spoke
is perhaps the most remarkable of all.
! 1t occurred when the Llanthony abbey
/ was in the course of building
Il was with the brothers in the gar
den at recreation explained the father,
/ when news was brought to me of a
! terrible accident. On the portion of
the structure that was in hand it was
necessary to haul UP by pulleys huge
masses of stone. 1t was dangerous
! business and every care was taken
full thing. For some reason the blocks
of masonry which were being hoisted
up suddenly shifted and fell, crushing
\ to death the man who was working the
{, pulleys.
when The brothers came running
up to me and told me what had hap
pened said: Wait men. Then
ran as hard as ! could to my cell and
brought little flask l had of Lourdes
water When reached the spot where
they had laid the man. who was moth :
ing but a bruised pulp, the brothers
were standing around looking sadly or
/ The dead. There could be no doubt he
was dead
Think what would happen to you,
hand If a brick fell on it and then how
Your body would feel if you had beer
crushed by the weight of masonry that
fell upon that man. But it was no time
for thinking, for | felt the divine com
mand was upon me. ] Sprinked the
poor mangled corpse. and in the name
of the Lord commanded it to arise.
