BarbTherese Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 http://vaticaninsider.lastampa.it/en/the-vatican/detail/articolo/francesco-napoli-39932/ St. Gennaro’s relic miraculously turned to liquid in Naples Cathedral. This usually only happens on the feast of the saint on 19 September. Sepe said St. Gennaro loves the Pope, the blood has already liquefied by half." But the whole relic eventually turned to liquidGiacomo Galeazziin naples This is the first time it happened. San Gennaro’s blood had never liquefied during a papal visit to Naples before. None of the visits paid by Pius IX, John Paul II or Benedict XVI provoked the phenomenon. But the miracle was witnessed this afternoon, after Francis’ heartfelt address to faithful and clergy. What gave me a giggle was that I saw the above last night on TV and apparently when it was pointed out to Pope Francis that half the blood had liquefied, he replied "Only half? That means we have more work to do". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
