THE BELIEF IN MIRACLES.

A miracle is an event which is so
wonderful that it cannot be accounted
for by any natural cause, and is there
fore attributed to the power of God.
The Latin word "miraculum" means
merely something wonderful-some-
thing which causes admiration or sur
prise; but a miracle, in the proper
sense of the English word, is an eff
feet which is beyond the laws of the
whole of created nature, and which,
therefore, must be produced by di-
vine power.
In this unbelieving age there is
hardly any teaching of the Catholic
Church, writes Rev. ]. F. s., in the
Apostolate, which is so opposed and
oftentimes so ridiculed as the exis-
tence or the possibility of miracles
Catholics are called credulous, super
stitious, benighted, and several other
uncomplimentary things, because they
believe that God can do what natural
causes cannot accomplish. Now we
Catholics have firm belief in mir
acles; we believe that they are posi-
BILE, and that they have been wrought;

CARDINAL RAMPoLLA'S PRAYER

With deep interest the clergy and
people of Rome have received a
prayer which the late Cardinal Ram
polla composed and which he recited
every morning after Mass. 1t is as
follows: 20 Blessed Virgin, Mother
of God, cast a glance from Heaven
where thou sittest as Queen, upon
this poor sinner, your servant
Though conscious of his unworthiness
in reparation for the insults offered to
thee by impious and blasphemous
tongues, he blesses and eXalts thee
from his whole heart as the purest
the most beautiful and the most holy
of creatures. He blesses thy holy
name. He blesses thy sublime prerog.
atives as real Mother of God, ever Vir.
gin, conceived without stain of sin
and co-Redemptress of the human
race. He blesses the Eternal Father
who chose you as His daughter in a
special manner. He blesses the Incar
nate Word, who by assuming human
nature in your most chaste womb
made you His Mother. He blesses
the Divine Spirit, who wished you tc
be His spouse. He blesses, exalts
and thanks the most august Trinity
who chose you and loved you so much
as to elevate you above all creatures
to the most sublime height. o Virgin
holy and merciful, obtain the grace O
repentance for those who insult you
Be pleased to accept this little HON
age of your servant, and obtain 70
him also from your Divine Son pardol
of his sins. Amen" His Holmes
Piux X. grants to those who recit,
this prayer an indulgence of one hun
dred days, which may be applied t
the souls in Purgatory.

The False and the True.

There have been many false mir
acles." Granting this, what then?
Does this imply that there can be no
true ones? There have been many
false statements in history. Do we
therefore reject all history? In con-
sidering alleged miracles we should
do precisely what we do when we
examine a disputed historical asser-
ton. We should weight the evidence
for and against, and draw our conclu-
sions accordingly. If incontrovertible
testimony is set before us, to the eff.
feet that an event has occurred which
is beyond the laws of nature, we
should accept the said event as mir.
acle. If such testimony is lacking, OF
is not conclusive, we should not &C
cept it.
AS to fantastic legends" we freely
admit that many of the alleged mir

EASTER DUTY.

The fourth precept of the Church
commands all the faithful to receive
Holy Communion during the Easter
time, and frequently during the sea-
son of Lent, and again with more
insistence in the weeks following the
great Feast of the Resurrection they
are reminded of the obligation OF
making their Easter duty. With us
the prescribed time for its fulfillment
extends from the first Sunday OF
Lent to Trinity Sunday, which occurs
this year on June Z.
The obligation of receiving Holy
Communion is clearly stated in the
words of our Lord to be found in the
sixth chapter of st. Johns Gospel
The fourth council of Lateran, held
in 1915, determined the time in which
the divine precept might be satisfied
and decreed that the least the Chris
tan might do, would be to receive
the body and blood of our Lord once
a year. 1t further decided that he
who did not comply with this regula
ton would render himself liable to
accommodation, and forfeit the
right to Christian burial, for his neg
lect or refusal to obey a command
ment of the Church as we'll as for his
disregard for the will of our divine
Lord.
1t is the wish of the Church, clear
ly expressed by the Holy Father
Pope Plus X, that Catholics should
approach the altar, not once in the
year, but frequently even daily. AS
a result of his letter recommending
frequent Communion with good Cath
olics it is no longer a question OF
Easter Duty only; but for many OF
them the reception of the Holy Eu
charist has become a monthly or a
weekly, or even a daily duty, and
those to whom the opportunity is
given and who avail themselves of il
by receiving daily, are living much
more in accord with the mind of the
Church and the Saviour than are
they who allow long and irregular
intervals of time to elapse between
their days for Holy Communion.
Considering then the present un
derstanding on the part of the people
in regard to frequent Communion, the
penalties of the Church for those
who refuse to approach the altar a
least once a year are well deserved
by those who incur them, and the
Catholic who renders himself liable
to them is hardly worthy of the name
His own negligence not less than the
decree of the Church would cut hin
off from the body of the faithful, ant
of his own accord he is deprivins
himself of the spiritual favors which
union with the Church, and Com
munion of our Lord bring to all wht
are eager to live in accordance witt
the will of our Saviour, and nourisl
their souls with His divine life.

acles of medieval days undoubtedly
deserve this title-and, as we have
said, no Catholic is bound to believe
them. When the evidence as to the
miraculous nature of any occurrence
is weak, our Church rejects it at once
When the evidence is strong, and
still more, when it is indisputable
she may accept the miracle-but even
then she does not compel us to accept
it; she does not make it part of our
faith.
Present-Day Miracles.
But what about such things as the
numberless miracles alleged to take
place at Lourdes? Do not you Cath.
olics believe in these" Not neces-
sarily. We may if we see fit, and we
need not if we don't. In other words,
we Catholics believe that miracles like
those claimed for Lourdes are posi-.
BILE. We believe that God, for His
own good purposes, can perform such
works of mercy. We believe that the
intercession of the Blessed Virgin or
of other saints can secure special and
wonderful favors from God. But we
are not required to accept any speci-
fed event of this nature as miracle
unless we choose to do so. Many
Catholics have examined the evidence,
have convinced themselves that many
of these are real miracles, and con.
sequently believe in them. Those who
are not convinced the none the less
good Catholics. The motto of our
Church has always been: I'm neces-
sary things, unity; in doubtful things
liberty; in all things, charity"
Therefore, to sum up the Catholic
doctrine on miracles, God has estab-
lished uniform and constant natural
laws, but He can produce effects be-
yond these laws when His wisdom
deems such action necessary or use
full. He has done so in Bible times
He is equally able to do so now. And
we Catholics believe that miracles are
not only possible now, but that they
occur-for in many cases the evidence
for them is so absolutely conclusive
and incontestable that any reasonable
man must admit that the effects pro
duced cannot be accounted for by any
natural cause, but are evidently the
result of cause above nature. There
fore these effects are what we call g
miracle-and therefore, being reason
able men, we believe in them as such
Manifestations of Gods power, sucf
as take place at Lourdes, are not me
dieval legend. They are wrought il
our own times. They are investigated
often by scientific men who are moi
Catholics no natural law can &C
count for them. But the modern, I'm
believing world SCOTS at them. Oul
Blessed Saviour reproached the Jews
for their unbelief with the words
unless you see signs and wonders
We believe not" What of those whC
see them and then refuse to believe
