- I really believe so.
When I talked to Monsignor Jason Gray about the miracles that are documented, that, you know, in 2019, the Vatican said, "You can start receiving miracles and if you find any, please collect the data and then of course present it to the Vatican."
So he told me there are six cases of documented miracles that they're going to look at seriously, and of course send the necessary paperwork to the Vatican.
And you know, I'd like to say, hopefully in two to three years' time, God willing, we will see the church move and call Fulton Sheen Saint Sheen because of an approved second miracle.
And of course, we're called to pray for that.
So let's do our part.
Let's keep asking God to heal us and have these miracles through the intercession of Fulton Sheen.
But again, I think within two to three years, God willing, we hopefully will see that day where we will call him Saint Fulton Sheen.
