Summary of narrative | |||
Setting: | Molina [in Guadalajara] and Salas | Protagonist(s): | a crippled woman |
The Virgin provides medicine to cure our sufferings. She learned this medicine from her son and it surpasses the laws of nature. A woman from Molina was completely crippled. Her legs were paralyzed and twisted. She had herself carried from Molina, where she lived, to Salas. When she arrived at Salas, mass was being sung. As soon as she entered the church, her tendons began to loosen and stretch. She got up and ran outdoors, praising the Virgin. |
