Irishman beaten beyond recognition recovers through intercession of Australian beatified nun Mary MacKillop

Here is an excerpt from an ABC News report:

The family of an Irishman who woke from a seven-month long coma after being brutally bashed in Australia say his recovery came because they prayed to the Australian beatified nun Mary MacKillop.
David Keohane, 29, was on his way home from a party in Coogee in Sydney when he was beaten beyond recognition in August last year........ Read full report at ABC

Blessed Mary MacKillop (15 January 1842 - 8 August 1909) was an Australian Catholic nun who, together with Father J.T. Woods, founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart. She was beatified on 19 January 1995 by Pope John Paul II.
Her father Alexander was born in Lochaber, Scotland in 1812 and was deeply religious. He emigrated to Australia and married Flora MacDonald.

Video-Non-survivable Ohio shooting victim believed healed through intercession of late Pope John Paul II


The "miraculous" recovery of Jory Aebly, 26-who suffered a "non-survivable" gunshot to the head during a mugging in Cleveland- has been attributed to the intercession of Pope John Paul II. Doctors at the Metro Health Medical Center declared it to be a "non-survivable" injury, ABC’s Good Morning America reports.
According to CNA
Hospital chaplain Fr. Art Snedeker administered Aebly with the Sacrament of the Sick, asking Pope John Paul II to pray for Jory and to protect him.

Fr. Snedeker explained that the Pope had promised him he would always pray for the patients at the hospital and blessed a dozen rosaries with special patients at the hospital.

The priest gave Aebly the last of the rosaries that had been blessed by the Pope, after which Aebly consistently improved.....Dr. Robert Geertman, a neurosurgeon involved in Aebly's treatment, told Good Morning America his patient’s survival was "one in a million."

Two other miracles are attributed to the intercession of Pope John Paul II

  • In March 2007, a French nun, Sister Marie-Simon-Pierre, said she had been cured of Parkinson's disease after praying to John Paul.
  • AOL News reports that John Paul may have cured a 9-year-old Polish boy who had been unable to walk, said Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, the personal secretary of the late pontiff.
    Dziwisz -- who now heads John Paul’s old diocese of Krakow, Poland -- said the boy had been unable to walk because of a kidney ailment. But a few days ago, the youngster's parents brought him to John Paul's tomb in the grottoes of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
    "He was brought in a wheelchair because he wasn't able to walk," Dziwisz said. After praying at the tomb, the cardinal said, the boy told his parents "'I want to walk.' He got up and started walking, healthy."

Pope John Paul appears well on the way to canonization. One miracle is required for beatification and a second for canonization. Church officials are investigating all three occurrences. The certification of two miracles would ensure canonization.
