Baby Cassidy had two holes in her heart, Down syndrome, eye problems and hearing complications. Her family traveled to Rome to see Pope Francis in person during the canonization of John Paul II and John XXIII. They were directed to stand on a barricade in St. Peter’s Square where the “Pope-mobile” was to pass by.
They waited for hours, but when the motorcade turned into the square Scott Cassidy held up his child. A secret service agent took the baby and gave it to the pope. The pope kissed the child with his hand over its heart.
Later, they went to the cardiologist for a check-up. One of the holes was completely closed and one was half the size.”
Lynn Cassidy, the baby’s mother, believes it is divine intervention. “I mean it’s possible that it closes just over time,” she said. “But when you see the picture that the professional photographer took, his hand is here and he’s a servant of God,” said Lynn.
The Catholic Church can make popes and others into saints after two miracles attributed to them. Maybe Pope Francis is on his way to being a saint. Canonization is a means by which the Papacy gains support of the masses who view the saint as legitimate. It also strengthens the religious appeal of the Roman Catholic Church.
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs [come] out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” Revelation 16:13, 14
