Catholic Church studying possible miracle of John Paul II in Yucatan, Mexico
Catholic Church studying possible miracle of John Paul II in Yucatan, Mexico
The following news story from RomeReports.com is regarding a miracle attributed to Blessed John Paul II:
(RomeReports.com) - In the coming days, an official study will look at an alleged miracle obtained through the intercession of the Blessed John Paul II in the state of Yucatan, Mexico.
The case is the healing of this woman, Sara Guadalupe Fuentes García. She was suddenly cured of a tumor that blocked 80% of her throat and required emergency surgery.
It was during the recent visit of John Paul II relics to Mexico. The woman says that she had placed a picture of the pope on her chest and throat to ask for healing.
The bishop of Yucatan will investigate the case. If confirmed, it could become the miracle to be submitted to the pope to declare the Blessed John Paul II as a saint.

Prayer for Married Couples
The Monitor - Newspaper of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton, NJ |
Commentary by Loci B. Lenar
The Monitor is a newspaper published by the Catholic Diocese of Trenton, New Jersey. The publication requested permission to use one of my stained glass window photographs in their September 15, 2011 issue.
The photograph of Jesus and Mary at the Wedding at Cana appears on page four in the article "For the Love of God" by Mary Morrell. The image also appears on page six and is combined with a Prayer for Married Couples.
The stained glass window can be seen inside Saint Peter the Apostle Church, Baldwin Road, Parsippany, New Jersey.

Prayer for Married Couples - (The Monitor)
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God,
By the Sacrament of marriage,
your grace unites man and woman
in an unbreakable bond of love and peace.
You have designed the chaste love of husband
and wife for the increase both of the human family
and of your own family born in baptism.
You are the loving Father of this world of nature;
you are the loving Father of the new creation of grace.
In Christian marriage you bring
together the two orders of creation:
Nature's gift of children enriches the world
And your grace enriches also your Church.
May those who are called
to the vocation of marriage always be mindful
of your love and presence in their lives.
Amen
