For the one who [...] God

For the one from whose breasts God suckled milk
it is no wonder to heal the crippled.
 
Concerning this, Saint Mary performed a wonderful miracle,
great and merciful, in her church in Lugo
for a woman whose body was almost entirely
paralyzed and shriveled with a disease.
 
The bishop and all the people standing there,
seeing and hearing this and weeping with emotion,
saw that it was a miracle and not deceit;
and fervently praised the Virgin for that.

Hell you're quick hahah

Everything good. I changed the first line but mostly to make the title fit. I didn't reorder it line-to-line, so I wouldn't have to work with a messy grammar in English. xD

Just another translation to my to-do list. Well, Galician to Spanish is quick, I think I'll do it now.

By the way, you have a present in the PM box.

- alternative for first verse:

For the one from whose breasts God suckled milk
It is no wonder to heal the crippled

- 'desto' synonyms: regarding this/in this regard/of this...'concerning this' is nice enough tbh

alt. wording -> Holy Mary performed a beautiful miracle, great and merciful, in her church in Lugo

- Santa María -> Saint Mary is also a possibility

- piadoso: saintly/godly/compassionate/benign/benevolent
see here for a thousand more synonyms http://thesaurus.com/browse/merciful?s=t

- hermoso: just to spice things up: http://thesaurus.com/browse/beautiful?s=t

- for there was a woman who had most of her body paralysed and shrivelled with sickness

- hoax: trickery/deceit/artifice... más: http://thesaurus.com/browse/fraud

Thank you for the rewordings, I wasn't sure how to get away with that grammar (and the verb "suck" xD)

I changed one word with your thesaurus links, too. Maybe I come later to keep checking it, but I think I'll leave it as it is now.
