Approval of miracles will lead to canonization and beatification. A surprise and a request from @FatherZ

At Vatican News we see that a miracle was approved for Bl. Charles de Foucauld, Apostles to the Muslims.  This will lead to his canonization.

Also of interest is the miracle approved for Ven. Pauline-Marie Jaricot, foundress of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and the Living Rosary Association.   In years past on this blog I have suggested to readers to ask her intercession for miracles for her cause.  For example, when now-Fr. Philip Johnson was fighting his brain cancer, I proposed her.  This is good news.  They perhaps changed the Roman promoter.  He did little to nothing.  So, this is a pleasant surprise!  I thought her cause was in a coma.

Of a lot of interest to many is the recognition of a miracle through the intercession of Ven. Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus.  This cause has always surprised me while not surprising me at all.  Firstly, the KofC have a lot of clout and it is understandable that they wanted their pious founder to be canonized.  However, McGivney left such a thin record of his thoughts, interior life, through texts that the case built for his heroic life of virtue was well-constructed but very thin.  We have hardly anything that he wrote or said.  And if memory serves, a sermon that he gave is recounted only second hand.  In any event, it seems that Fr. McGivney will now be beatified.

Praise the Lord
