Hallelujah! God's come up with yet another way to thwart sinners attempting to pray to His Mother for no comprehensible reason.

Putting your faith in GPS, it appears, is not as reliable as putting your faith in the Lord.
An increasing number of Catholic pilgrims are learning this lesson first-hand as they show up in the unremarkable French village of Lourde – no 's' – and wait in vain for a miracle that never comes.
Nestling in the Pyrenean border country south of Toulouse, this little hamlet of 94 people has little in common with Lourdes, the world-famous holy site located around 90km to the west. It has no hotels, no shops and certainly no history of Marian apparitions.
So when they arrive in their cars, having misspelled the name of their destination on their navigational system, the new arrivals are understandably confused. "They are all surprised to see that Lourde[s] is so small; they ask you about the underground caves," one village councillor told French radio today.
Robert Amblard, village mayor, told local newspaper La Dépêche. "One day, a hearse showed up. The driver stopped in front of the map [of the local area] I advised him to have a look in the 65 [Haute-Pyrenees departement] instead."
Ever since the mid-19th century, when the unassuming market town of Lourdes became a pilgrimage point for Catholics all over the world, residents of the lesser known Lourde have been used to having to point outsiders to the right road.
But since the development of GPS, they say, the strays have become far more numerous. "For two years now ...more and more people are getting it wrong. We have Spaniards, Dutch, Belgians and of course French people. It's proof that they cant use technology," said one local, Louis.
Occasionally, it takes the errant pilgrims a while to notice they have taken a wrong turn, say the residents. Some of them, they claim, even confuse the village's modest statue of the Virgin Mary with the Statue of Our Lady at the Grotto of Massabielle, and lay their wreaths with great seriousness.
Despite the confusion, the villagers are resisting calls for them to modify their name in a bid to help pilgrims save themselves from orthographical recklessness. "I don't see why we should change our name," one local told RTL radio. "There is Bagnères de Luchon and Bagnères de Bigorre and people manage to get by."
The resident, who was not named by the radio station, added: "Even without an 's', we are still a nice village."

Could it be any clearer what is going on here? This is an obvious case of Divine Intervention, far more Godly than any phony Catholic "miracle". The message He is giving out is a simple and direct one: these poxy Popish pilgrims don't need to go to Lourdes, they need to find the Lord (no 's', there's only one of Him)! Shout Glory!
