REPORTED CURE AT BEAURAING

By a Special Correspondent
This year marks the fifteenth anniversary of the Apparitions of Our Lady at Beauraing, in Belgium, where she appeared to five children no less than thirty-three times.
During the course of several of these apparitions, Our Lady was seen to extend her arms in such a manner as to reveal, as it were in shining gold, her Immaculate Heart.
Thus Beauraing is regarded, because of the apparitions and the nature of the message there imparted, as the complement of Fatima.
For this reason, August 22 has always been observed as the special feast of Beauraing, and the Feast of the Immaculate Heart is kept as the day for the National Belgian Pilgrimage.
This year, however, it has taken on a far wider character. Led by Mgr. Cento, the Apostolic Nuncio at Brussels, some ten bishops from France and Holland as well as Belgium have participated with the representatives of ten different nations.
Holland is well to the fore. A fortnight ago, pilgrims led by their own Internuncio from the Holy See, marked their hundredth official pilgrimage to Beauraing with what amounted to a national "invasion."
They have been rewarded for their fidelity by the granting of what seems to be a first class cure.
PARALYSED A woman aged sixty-five, totally paralysed for fifteen years, sprang to her feet in good health and physical fitness during the Blessing of the Sick, and is now living a normal life.
Until various formalities are completed one may not claim a " miracle" but medical certificates, signed by non-Catholic doctors seem to be in order.
In the meantime the woman herself is quite satisfied with her wonderful cure. miracle or not.
This is not the first reported miracle at Beauraing by any means. A number of cases have been scrutinised in the past fifteen years and several have been declared miracles, in the proper manner. by the ecclesiastical tribunals which considered them.
