Deacon tells of miracle cure that paves way for sainthood
AN AMERICAN Catholic deacon has spoken of how the pain he suffered from a spinal disorder disappeared after praying to the English Cardinal John Henry Newman.
Jack Sullivan, from the archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts, described the moment the "agony" had left him.
"I felt a tremendous sense of heat, very, very warm and a tingling feeling all over my entire body. It was very strong and lasted for a long time," he said.
The Vatican earlier this year approved his cure as a miracle, paving the way for Cardinal Newman to become England's first non-martyred saint since before the Reformation.
