SANT'ANTONIO AND THE 8-YEAR-OLD CHILD MUTE SAY: "MOM"

A boy says a word for the first time, mom, just as a friend of his mother is depositing a prayer for him for the saint. "A miracle to be verified" writes the Rector of the Basilica of Sant'Antonio father Enzo Poiana on Facebook. But without hiding a certain enthusiasm by telling what happened:

"An 8-year-old boy who never said a word called mom. Things went like this: a married couple came to venerate the relic and when they were invited to write a prayer and deposit it in front of the saint's relic they thought of entrusting him with the child and his parents who are their friends.

So at the same time the boy at home said mom for the first time. The fact emerged only on Monday when the child's mom and the woman who put the prayer met at work. Meeting the woman told the mother what she had done and the mamna crying told the donba what had happened. By comparing the schedules these corresponded. On Saturday I will see the boy and his parents. "

Father Enzo Poiana then specified that he will meet the child on Saturday or Sunday and that the incident took place in the United States, Massachusetts in the Church of St. Anthony of Padua of the Maronites in Springfield, where the rector has been for days on a pastoral mission , following the relics of the Saint.
