A young girl was healed of intense chronic pain while watching the beatification of John Henry Newman on television, it has been claimed.
Deacon Jack Sullivan, whose severe spinal condition was miraculously cured after he prayed to Cardinal Newman, said the girl's mother called him after the Mass to say her daughter's pain had suddenly disappeared.
He said she was one of several people who had been cured of serious illness after attending healing services that he has conducted around America.
Mr Sullivan's own healing, approved by the Vatican last year, led to the Victorian cardinal being beatified in September. A second miracle is all that is needed for the Church to recognise him as a saint.
