Question:
God is omnipotent and therefore can do all things that are logically possible. A lily springing from the blood of St. Mariana de Jesus isn’t a logical contradiction, but how is it "logically possible?"
Answer:
You speak of the “Lily of Quito” (Ecuador), St. Marian de Jesus.
As you say, God is omnipotent. As such, he can do all things, including springing a lily from the blood of a saintly woman who has just died. This is not contrary to logic but rather shows God’s omnipotence, because he is not limited by the laws of nature he created to normally govern our Earth, according to which a lily could not spring from the earth via the nourishment of the blood of a deceased person.
However, to illustrate the purity and holiness otherwise of St. Mariana, God miraculously sprung a lily from St. Mariana’s blood.
