|
|
In the year 1954, Pope Bios XII signed a decree accepting the plea to canonize the Hermit Charbel MAKHLOUF. On December 5, 1965, Pope Paul VI headed the ceremony of canonizing father Charbel at the conclusion of the Second Vatican Synod. In the year 1975 Pope Paul VI decided to accept the miracle in order to declare the beatified Charbel as a Saint, and that was fulfilled in an international ceremony on Oct. 9, 1977. And from the several miracles referred to the intercession of the man of God, the church chose two to declare his canonization & a third one to declare his holiness. 1-Healing of sister Mary Apple Kamary one of the nuns of Sacred Heart’s. 2-Healing of Iskandar Naoum Obeid from Baabdat. 3-Healing of Mariam Awad from Hammana. |
