Cause of Beatification Newsletter
Vatican process for the recognition of a miracle in a Cause for Beatification Upon completion of documentation and historical processes, "divine signs" were reviewed to confirm the judgment of the Church about the virtue or martyrdom of the Servant of God. The Catholic Church takes such sign as a miracle wrought by divine intercession of the candidate. But the process by which miracles are checked is as strictly legal as that research on martyrdom and heroic virtues. The following are taken into account: a) God has truly performed a miracle, almost always a cure of a disease, and b) that the miracle was wrought through the intercession of the Servant of God. In turn, the bishop of the diocese where the miracle occurred, as proof, gathers evidences to be sent to the Congregation. The tests are investigated by a team of medical specialists, who determines that healing unable to occur by natural means. In the case of Father Luis Amigo whose beatification is due to his heroic virtues have presented several miracles to study, being the most important are those of the child of Emanuel Eliezer of Mexico "born with many problems, was cured without medical explanation after invoking the help of Luis Amigo, today is a healthy young man, and the miracle of now engineer Rodrigo Barros, born in Caracas, Venezuela born with intestines outside; with many reservations from doctors who treated him at the time, the prognosis was booked and nothing encouraging, is now fully healthy.
