What a tear-jerker of a story.

All honor and glory be to God, the father for the healing of James Fulton.

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, pray for us.

I remember sitting on the floor saying, “Fulton Sheen, Fulton Sheen, Fulton Sheen” over and over again in my head.

My James was born after the accident where Father Benedict Groeschel was hit by a car. While I was delivering - and James was my biggest baby by quite a lot! - I was screaming, in my mind, "Father Groeschel! Father Groeschel!"

You'll note that Father Groeschel is still kicking to this day, and James is 8-1/2 and Kathleen is his birthday baby, born the same day. When Father Groeschel's cause for canonization is in progress, as I'm sure it will be after he dies plus five years, I'll be sure to mention this anecdote to the appropriate persons.
