In 1977 my mother was rushed to the hospital in Philadelphia. The doctors found a blood mass in the center of the brain the size of a golf ball. The doctor's told my family that this large blood mass was very rare. If they operated she would die or be parallelized for the duration of her life. My parents were raised Catholic and knew about the medical miracles of St John Neumann. A St. John Neumann medal was placed on her and a novena prayer read everyday. The doctors told my father the blood mass would bleed if they didn't do emergency surgery, my father filled with faith said no. My mother came home from the hospital and continued with her life raising six children. She stopped taking all the medicine the doctors prescribed because the meds were making her feel sick and weak. The doctors gave her no more then seven years to live back in 1977. My mother worked to the age of 74. On April 1st of this year 2022 my mother will be 84 years old. The golf ball size blood mass is still in her brain but never caused her untimely death that the doctors said would occur in 1977. My mother is a medical miracle with the inter-session of St. John Neumann.

The first time I went to Rome on pilgrimage was for the canonization of St. Maximillian Kolbe on Oct. 10th 1982. I had prayed for his canonization for years so it was a great joy.

One thing I know that GOD got to choose first the person who he choose to become saint even before church make them saint . Remember, church cannot perform miracles which I know now it is not miracle but Grace. Also other graces for example stigmata or like not decaying the body of saints .Unconditional forgiveness through the blood of Christ, sufferings to understand the deep realization of pride the core sin of mind, practicing spiritual principles with full will for the prosperous of their life for the purpose or for others etc are essential parts of holiness. Faith is the most important spiritual principle God check during this process and going to be most challenging one among all spiritual principles. How I know ? ..I am going through it now and I know now that church do not make saints but GOD will with a particular purpose for to glorify him and his son Jesus who is our savior, please keep me in your prayers ...

"Servant of God", "Messenger of God"
So dont tell us that we are worshiping them
And we are not doing Idolatry so not a sin
They help us be closer to God

Thank you, I was wondering how the process was. I'm starting this channel to learn more about saints and their life stories and what we can learn from them.

Πολλοὶ γὰρἐλεύσονται ἐπὶ τῷὀνόματί μου ,  λέγοντες,  Ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ χριστός · καὶ πολλοὺςπλανήσουσιν .

Vicarius Filii Dei


For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ, ’ and will lead many astray.


Bless you
