After she prayed to Cardinal Newman, the bleeding immediately stopped, a strong scent of roses filled the room, and medical tests soon confirmed her placenta was completely healed, leading to the birth of her healthy daughter, Gemma.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: What was the first miracle attributed to St. John Henry Newman?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: The first miracle concerned American deacon Jack Sullivan, who suffered from a debilitating spinal disorder that left him almost paralyzed. After praying for Newman&#8217;s intercession, he experienced a sudden and complete recovery, allowing him to walk again and pursue his ordination as a permanent deacon.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: Why are these miracles considered significant, especially the second one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Sister Kathleen Dietz views the second miracle, which saved both a mother and her unborn child, as a &#8220;sign of the times&#8221; that counters the &#8220;culture of death,&#8221; emphasizing Newman&#8217;s role in promoting and preserving life. For both miracles, they authenticate Newman&#8217;s holiness and show he continues to be an example and intercessor in the Church.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Q: How can St. John Henry Newman inspire people in their daily lives?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Newman teaches that holiness is achieved not through heroic feats, but by performing ordinary daily duties well and consistently, such as dedicating thoughts to God, prayer, and self-examination, encouraging a practical and consistent faith in everyday circumstances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nThis is a summary of the article from https:\/\/ewtnvatican.com\/articles\/newman-miracles-canonization.
