for more than year after she was struck
by the automobile in January, 1941, vouched
for the authenticity of her injury and
paralysis.
THE ankle fracture healed, all right but
the injured tendon did not" he said. He had
taken numerous X-rays and made other ex-
aminations of the woman.
The paralysis of her face, which occurred
in June of 1941, was absolutely bona fide. She
treated to the limit of medical science"
Dr. Andres Villareal, another outstanding
FL Paso physician and surgeon, stated that
three vital nerves in Mrs Garcia's face were
undoubtedly paralyzed, freezing movement
there.
Cleofas Callero, director of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference in Ell Paso close
friend of Mrs. Garcias, testifies, also, as to
her infirmity before the miracle.
Many times have seen her laboriously
climb from a car, with friends helping her,
and take five minutes to walk from the curb
to the door," he said
u. S. immigration officials at the Interna-
tional Bridge crossing the Rio Grande from
Eel Paso to Juarez Mexico have documentary
proof in their files of the womans condition
previous to the occurrence in the chapel
Diseased or crippled persons cannot enter
the United States. Mrs. Garcia a year ago
told by the officials that she could leave but
would not be re-admitted to the States
When Mrs. Garcia walked, smiling and
erect, to immigration headquarters following
her cure. officials stood open-mouthed Having
seen her previously. on crutches bent with
pain and apparently incurable deforr1ity,
they could hardly believe their eyes
After seeing her and talking to her the
immigration men told her she would be re-
admitted to the United States.
And so, joyously, Mrs. Garcia made her
plans for the visit that she thought would
never be possible.
Mrs. Garcia walked across the Interna-
tional Bridge. She paused in it's middle as
the silvery Rio Grande swirled beneath.
Her eyes lifted to the West. There, the
great white statue Of Christie Rey doomed in
glorious relief against the blue desert sky
She stood silently. Then her lips-once
taut with paralysis-moved
She crossed herself slowly. Her eyes were
shining with light that only the inspired
have.
THE Father. the Son. the Holy
Ghost. 49,"
And with these three phrases she turned
and walked away.

vious Is months, for early morning mass. She
made her way over to the altar to partake
of the Holy Communion.
Other early morning worshpers were
scattered over the dimly lit chapel in prayer.
Mrs. Garcia approached the altar For a
year and half she had been unable to kneel
for the ritual but had been forced to crouch
on her clutches. Her physical condition even
prevented her from taking the regular amount
of the Sacrament
Father CULLEN pastor, always assisted her.
He broke off tiny piece of the Host and
passed it through the corner of her mouth.
AS Mrs. Garcia crouched at the altar that
Wednesday morning the supernatural. the I'M
natural, the unearthly, seemed to intervene.
A strange feeling came over Mrs. Garcia
1t grpped her, body and soul 1t was not
sensation of fear, rather one of reverent awe.
She had distinct feeling that the Mother
Superior, her friend who had been dead five
days, was near her
Then-her excited mind vsualizing an ap-
partition of the Mother Superior standing on a
cloud bathed in burst of sunshine Mrs.
Garcia heard the words:
Blessed be the Holy Sacrament Maria,
drop your clutches to the floor. You do not
need them any more. Kneel and take the
Holy Sacrament. Walk, talk, you can see and
hear. Blessed be the Holy Sacrament"
The Mother Superior, whose body lay two
miles distant in Evergreen Cemetery had
spoken. The miracle was complete. Maria
Garcia was well. completely delivered from
her pain and deformity
Upon seeing Mrs. Garcia kneel Father
Cullen quickly came to her. He was amazed
He thought it was impossible for her to knee
He was even more astounded to hear the
woman speak.
Father Father! 1 can talk! / can see! 1
can hear! l can kneel for the Holy Sacra-
ment The Mother Superior has told me!
am we'll She has told me! / am! / am"
Mrs Garcia for the first time in eighteen
months, took the Holy Communon-u
ed She took the entire Host.
After the ceremony-which shook the
other wde-eyed worshipers with incredulity
and awe-Mrs. Garcia walked home. Her.
clutches remained at the altar and are there
now
News of il spread like wildfire
Visitors by the hundreds daily began visit
ing the little chapel. Friends poured in Mrs
Garcias home. many with joyous tears rolling
down their cheeks kissing the old woman out
of love for her and rejoicing in her recovery.
High officials of the FL Paso diocese
checked the case thoroughly, A complete re-
port now is being assembled and will be sent
TO the Pope in Rome.
Or. Louis Breck, who treated Mrs. Garcia
