Miraculously healed Deacon to visit Newman Oratory


Catholic News Agency reports that an American deacon whose cure from a crippling spine malady has been recognized as a miracle wrought though the intercession of Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman will visit Newman’s Birmingham Oratory in November. (story here)
This story was brought to my attention by the Reverend Know-it-all who has recently posted a couple of blogs responding to a questioner asking if there have been any incontrovertible miracles.
The story of the healing of Deacon Jack Sullivan of Massachusetts is one in which the cure was immediate and permanent following prayers asking the intercession of Cardinal Newman. “For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don't believe, no proof is possible.”
I just celebrate the fact that at least one deacon is worthy of curing -- for this humble blogger, the best I can hope for is a light pickling.(a little preservation humor)
