Dominic Maria, I really like your use of Scriptural citations in the post; that is way old school.

Sorry, guys, I know that this is off-topic, but I wanted to be sure to pass it along, especially to Matthew. A kind priest who was visiting our blog emailed me this afternoon about a wonderful book by St. Alphonsus Maria de’Liguori which is back in print–surprisingly, though, not by TAN! Here is the link, though not a direct one, you’ll have to search for it. For some reason, it won’t link from “search” results.

Here’s a link to some of the miracles associated with the Lebanese saint, St. Charbel Makhlouf. One of the miracles is his beatification miracle.

Though I put up the picture of Padre Pio and his stigmata, it’s actually not the case that stigmata or incorruption can be used as miracles in the cause, which is interesting to note.

Dominic,

I recall seeing an interview on EWTN with the man whose damaged heart had been healed through intercession by St. Faustina. Perhaps you could search the EWTN website for that interview — they would be a good place to look in general, I expect.

Most canonization miracles these days are medical in nature — miraculous cures, like this one — or so I’ve been told. That may be part of why they’re hard to find: the names of those who have been healed may not be allowed to be made public.
