Miracles do occur ..
Been watching the Pope's visit ...
This will include an open-air beatification Mass for Cardinal John Henry Newman.
Jack Sullivan, who prayed to Cardinal Newman to cure his spinal injury will attend. Doctors had told him that his injury was too severe.
"I certainly needed a divine favour at that moment so I prayed: 'Please Cardinal Newman help me to walk so that I can return to classes and be ordained'," said Mr Sullivan.
When he woke the next morning, the pain had gone, he told the BBC, allowing him to complete his third year of classes before it returned, on the final day of the academic year.
Having taken an excruciating few minutes, with a nurse's help, to get his feet to the floor, he said he leant on his forearms and recited his prayer to Newman.
"Suddenly I felt an intense heat, like an oven blast, and a strong tingling sensation throughout my whole body," he said. "I felt an indescribable sense of joy and peace, and was totally transfixed by what I believed to be God's presence.
"When I became aware of what was happening around me I was standing upright and I exclaimed to the nurse that I felt no more pain."
Dr Banco, a Catholic, has testified the recovery was "unbelievable, 100%, totally remarkable... I have never seen a healing process occur so quickly and completely."
So, my question... Have we become too cynical to belive in miracles and "divine favour" ??
