The Vatican has begun investigating a possible miracle attributed to the intercession of Pope Benedict XVI🇻🇦 This comes as the Church advances the cause for his sainthood. The reported miracle involves a young man from Colorado who, in 2012, suffered from advanced Hodgkin’s lymphoma. During a general audience in St. Peter’s Square, the then-Pope placed his hand on the young man’s chest, directly over the tumor, and blessed him. What followed was a complete, unexplained recovery that doctors could not scientifically account for. Today, that same man is a priest! This is a beautiful sign of God’s continued work through the holy lives of His servants. Pope Benedict XVI, the great theologian and gentle shepherd, continues to inspire faith even after his passing. Let us pray for the success of this investigation and for the glorification of this faithful servant of the Church. In addition, a lay-initiated signature campaign has been launched, petitioning the Vatican to accelerate the cause for the beatification and canonization of Pope Benedict XVI. To date, the petition has already gathered over 1,900 signatures.
