A little closer walk with thee.....(insert lightning bolt)

Brother Andre has had a miracle attributed to him,so perhaps sometime in the next millenium or so (known as the RC fast track) ......old Brother Andre may become a Saint...............the first Quebec man to attain the title,  MONTREAL – Brother André moved closer to canonization on Saturday as Pope Benedict XVI attributed a miracle to the founder of St. Joseph’s Oratory.

Brother André, who was born in 1845 in St. Hyacinthe and died in Montreal in 1937, was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1982.

The pope on Saturday “acknowledged as scientifically inexplicable a healing due to the intercession of Brother André,” according to a news release.

“Brother André takes pride of place among the builders of our diocesan church,” said Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, archbishop of Montreal.
