Miracle declared in cure of Mass. man


Miracle in Massachusetts.

A Marshfield man once debilitated by crippling spinal pain says he is now healed thanks to a miracle. And it seems the Catholic Church agrees. John Sullivan says he prayed to a renowned nineteenth century Catholic Cardinal and now is free of pain.

It's springtime and John Sullivan has been doing some gardening his little patch out back of his Marshfield, Mass home.

Sullivan is seventy years old, a native of South Boston. He says he briefly lost his Catholic faith in college, then came back to the Church, married, raised three children and worked all his life in the public sector.

Nine years ago, he decided he'd like to be a Deacon at his parish church in Pembroke, Mass. and began a lengthy course of theological studies.

Those studies were interrupted suddenly in early 2000 by crippling back pain. Doctors told him he had a serious spinal condition.

He faced either serious, risky surgery or the possibility of paralysis. He was depressed and frightened.
