Decree on Miracle Attributed to Ġorġ Preca Promulgated |
VATICAN
CITY - The Congregation for the Causes of Saints promulgated
today the decree on a miracle attributed to the intercession of
Blessed Ġorġ Preca,
priest and founder of the Society of the Christian
Doctrine (M.U.S.E.U.M.) It received the approval of Pope
Benedict XVI last 14 February.
The miracle occurred around
two months after his beatification during Pope John Paul II's
visit to Malta in May 2001. The case involved an infant who
developed liver complications mere days after birth. The child
was examined at St. Luke’s Hospital in Malta and eventually
transferred to London’s King College Hospital, for further
treatment.
On 14 July, doctors decided that the child would
only survive if given a liver transplant. Although a date for
the transplant was established, it was later discovered that the
donor was not a compatible match. At this point the child’s
family turned to God through prayer, with the intercession of
Blessed Ġorġ Preca. A glove used during the exhumation of the
priest a few months earlier was also placed upon the infant’s
body. On 20 July, the child’s liver started to function normally
and within another four days doctors decided that the baby no
longer required a liver transplant. Today the child is a healthy
five-year-old.
