*…The aspiring Roman Catholic deacon had hoped for a quick recovery from spinal surgery to keep his ordination on track. But five days later, he was hunched over in agony beside his hospital bed, trying to walk but unable to stand. That’s when he prayed to 19th century Cardinal John Henry Newman.
“Please, Cardinal Newman, help me to walk so I can go back to classes and be ordained,” pleaded the retired county magistrate from south of Boston.
Instantly, Sullivan’s body began tingling, joy filled him and he felt heat like “walking into the open door of a huge oven,” he said. Minutes later, he yelled to his nurse: “I have no more pain!”
Since then, the pain has not returned and Pope Benedict XVI has ruled Sullivan’s quick recovery a miracle that resulted from Newman’s intercession with God. The ruling clears the way for Newman’s beatification in his native England by the pope. Sullivan plans to attend the Sept. 19 ceremony.
