“The Vatican is investigating an alleged miracle that could put the wartime pope Pius XII just one step away from canonisation. An unnamed person in Castellammare di Stabia in southern Italy has claimed to have been healed from cancer after praying to Pope Pius.” Click here to read more
A few weeks ago, our Treasurer (Miss McMoneypenny – Betty) was given the tragic news that, following her stroke at the beginning of August 2009, she would never walk again. Her family asked me not to publish this news at the time, as it was “taking some getting used to” – to put it mildly; Betty is still a young fifty-something.
Betty’s husband’s first thought was to take her on pilgrimage to Lourdes. The suggestion was also made, at that time, to pray to Pope Pius XII for a first class miracle – that is, a healing that is undeniably due to God’s intervention, in this case, through the intercession of Pope Pius XII.
The pilgrimage to Lourdes is scheduled to take place in July but there is nothing to stop us all praying – as from this moment – for that first class miracle through the intercession of Pope Pius XII. Let’s do all we can to push forward, the cause for the canonisation of this great Pope. We’ve defended him plenty on this blog so we’re hopeful of a result!
A few minutes ago I spoke with Betty. Still undergoing speech therapy, she was, nevertheless, able to communicate that she is very keen for me to post this thread. So, please, read the linked article on the first alleged miracle obtained by the unnamed person overseas, and then storm that corner of Heaven undoubtedly occupied by Pope Pius XII for a first class – “no question about it” – miracle for Betty/Miss McMoneypenny. Feel free to comment if you wish or to post any prayers or devotions that you think would be of interest or spiritual benefit.
Thank you all.
