was it real

i chose to write about Blessed Teresa and her wounds. from what i gathered from the Internet and from class, it was said she went several decades without substantial food and water, and her wounds never became infected. When i saw this i did not know what to think of it, i mean a person cannot live without food and water, but at the same time her wounds never became infected. Neither of these things should occur, but somehow they did, be it real or fictional.

scientifically a body can not go more than 8 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. For the Blessed Teresa to go more than 4 decades without these things seems impossible. peoples faith can steer them to believe that these events did actually happen. That a higher power kept her alive for all those years as a sign of a miracle. the Catholic church put the story of a miracle out to reconnect people with the church. To see the truth people need to try to get rid of the society's influence, and look past religion.
