St. Lydwine of Schiedam Virgin

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is indeed a wonderful existence to which we are here introduced: on the one hand unexampled physical suffering, wholly unrelieved by natural remedies, wholly unsupported by natural nourish ment, and on the other supernatural visitations as unmeasured only as the pains of the poor, tortured, worn-out frame. 80 marvellous an existence may well excuse a certain amount of pre vious scepticism, and certainly it is such as to call for proportionate proof. But once that proof is forthcoming, for the scientific and unprejudiced mind there is nothing for it but to accept the facts, be the explanation what it may.
