THE RUSH OF PILGRIMS TO KNOCK A REMARKABLE CURE.
Nation 1842-1897, Saturday, May 15, 1880; Page: 8; The Tuam News, of the 7th inst, says :—The great run for the Summer season, as it opens in the provinces, appears to be in favour of a spot now become, amongst -English-speaking people, quite as famous as Lourdes in France. Of course that spot is known to be no other than Knock, in the county Mayo. We were there on yesterday, and felt quite astonished at the vast concourse of people who, in ever-increasing numbers, arrived each day. There were to be seen men and women, boys and girls, rich and poor, from all quarters of Ireland from Dublin and Waterford, from Cork and Kerry, and Limerick and Tipperary. Again—from Donegal and Londonderry; from Antrim and Tyrone ; from Belfast and its neighbourhood, up to Louth. and of course from those portions of Ireland that lie between Tyrone, in Ulster, and Tipperary, in Munster, These are mentioned as the extreme outlying counties, South, and East, and North; for certain it is that Connacht, too, contributed her quota of pilgrims. And, In passing, one may remark, for at present it is well known, that all pilgrims from any part of Ireland, East or West, can have, on applying for it, a return ticket on the Midland Great Western railway at the charge of a single fare. This is due to the judicious kindness of Mr. John Echlin Ward, the manager. Kindness such a course certainly is to the pilgrims who make the journey, per rail, to Knock; and judicious, because the numbers who go there will be almost trebled, owing to the fact that facilities of this nature are offered the travelling public. To a perceiving eye not only are there men and women from all parts of Ireland to be seen at Knock, but there they are, unmistakably, from Glasgow, in batches and groups of five to six. Glasgow has contributed a great quota of pious pilgrims, who seem not to have lost their faith, but rather to have acquired In many instances a stronger appreciation of the miracle-working faith preached by St. Patrick and handed down to the present day to all the Catholic children of the land, living at home, or forced, like our Glasgow friends, to run to a foreign land in order to sustain life. There they are not only from Glasgow, but from Dundee and from Liverpool; from Manchester, from York and from that historical ground around Durham, from the towns bordering on the Lindisfarne of a past age, of which the traces touching its sanctity in time and place are still to be seen and felt. England is fully represented in the numbers of fervent Catholics who have come from her shores to Knock. We must now take a greater bound across the western waste of waters—to the shores of America, From New York and Chicago, as we have learned, some of the Irish race have, within the past week, come to pay their devotions at the chapel of Knock, Without entering into the merits of the miraculous cures said to be wrought, we learned on yesterday while there that four fresh and genuine cures of a miraculous kind were that very day made manifest in the case of several of the devout pilgrims who had come to show their faith in God and their love for the Mother of our Divine Saviour. We learned on the most undoubted authority that on last week a priest from Manchester—a man well known for his zeal in training children to knowledge and virtues—Rev. Father Quick, had come to Ballyhaunis, and thence to Knock ; that on Wednesday he was unable to move a finger of his left-hand or to stir his arm ; that for months past it had been in the same condition. He went to Knock, prayed to Our Lady, returned to Ballyhaunis perfectly cured. This matter was public, and known to all. The suddenness of the cure was remarkable. That the good priest was unable to move his hand and arm was well known to all who came in his way; that he was directly and immediately cured is equally certain and publicly known, It is said that he dined that evening with his Grace the Most Rev. Dr. MacEvilly, Coadjutor Archbishop, and that all who dined at table on that day were made certain of the miraculous event. This is not a mere hearsay story. It is one to which his Grace may be said to be an eye-witness, for if he did not see Father Quick before the miraculous cure had been wrought, he certainly saw the good priest directly when the cure was effected, and from the lips of the Rev. Father Quick himself he heard the story or narration of the extraordinary change.
