Since writing the earlier post this morning, there is news of a possible miraculous cure attributed to the intercession of Blessed John Henry Newman the the Archdiocese of Chicago has forwarded to the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints. The  report has appeared in Aleteia and in The Tablet. The article in The Tablet says that “If it is sustained by the Congregation for Causes of Saints, it would be the second miracle necessary for his canonisation. The case involves a Catholic mother who survived a life-threatening pregnancy after praying to Newman. Her physicians have testified that they cannot explain her sudden and explicable cure.”

If you have not read a biography of Cardinal Newman I invite you to read Passion for Truth, the Life of John Henry Newman.
