Sainthood pending...


Incase you were wondering, the little boy this is about is my future nephew and the ringbearer in my wedding.  He is incredibly precious, and the fact that he is alive is miraculous.  He was born with severe brain damage and wasn't expected to live.  He was released from the hospital on hospice--they thought he might die within days.  His grandmom asked many friends and her fellow Pauline Cooperators to pray for the intercession of Blessed Fr. Giacuomo Alberione.  Today Owen is 2 1/2 and an absolute joy of a toddler.  He is also a perfectly normal toddler, well minus the fact that he can throw a frisbee a good 40 feet.  His recovery is being looked into as part of Fr. Alberione's cause for sainthood. Earlier this week, a postulator from the Vatican visited the Vatican to investigate and determine whether this is a true miracle. Read the accompanying article here.
