Benoît XVI reconnaît une guérison miraculeuse due à l’intercession de frère André
Montréal, le 19 décembre 2009 –Le pape Benoît XVI a reçu en audience privée, ce matin à Rome, le préfet de la Congrégation pour la cause des saints, Mgr Angelo Amato, s.d.b.. Au cours de l’audience, le Saint-Père a autorisé la Congrégation à promulguer le décret concernant un miracle attribué à l’intercession du bienheureux frère André, c.s.c., fondateur de l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal. Né le 9 août 1845 à Saint-Grégoire d’Iberville dans le diocèse de Saint-Hyacinthe, au sud de la métropole québécoise, frère André est décédé le 6 janvier 1937 à Ville Saint-Laurent (Montréal). Il a été déclaré vénérable le 12 juin 1978 par le pape Paul VI et a été béatifié le 23 mai 1982 par le pape Jean-Paul II à Rome.
C’est avec joie que la direction et l’équipe de l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal ont appris que Sa Sainteté le pape Benoît XVI venait de reconnaître une guérison miraculeuse due à l’intercession du bienheureux frère André. Le cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, archevêque de Montréal, se réjouit de la nouvelle et souligne que « Frère André figure en bonne place parmi les bâtisseurs de notre Église diocésaine. »
Le vice-postulateur de la cause de canonisation de frère André, père Mario Lachapelle, c.s.c., indique: « La voie à la canonisation de frère André est maintenant ouverte! Le moment semble enfin venu. Aujourd'hui, une des plus belles pages de notre histoire collective s'écrit. »Le supérieur général de la Congrégation de Sainte-Croix, à Rome, père Hugh Cleary, c.s.c., mentionne « C’est une grâce pour notre famille religieuse de compter en ses rangs un tel modèle de vie chrétienne donné au monde, une réelle inspiration d’accueil, de présence et de compassion. Voilà une bonne nouvelle! »
Le recteur de l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph, père Claude Grou, c.s.c., commente ainsi cette bonne nouvelle: « En ces jours de préparation à la grande fête de Noël, nous avons une raison supplémentaire de nous réjouir en apprenant que le Saint-Père reconnaît officiellement la guérison miraculeuse obtenue par l’intercession du bienheureux frère André. Cette étape importante ravive notre espérance de voir frère André parmi les saints de l’Église catholique. » Quant à lui, le supérieur de la Province canadienne de la Congrégation de Sainte-Croix, père Jean-Pierre Aumont, c.s.c., déclare: « Frère André est reconnu par toute la famille de Sainte-Croix comme un homme dont la prière a su toucher le cœur de Dieu. Ce miracle manifeste combien il sait encore et toujours être à l’écoute des souffrances humaines et inspirer la vie et la mission des religieux de Sainte-Croix. »
Cette annonce survient à la suite de la session ordinaire des cardinaux et des évêques (regroupant 15 membres) au cours de laquelle un jugement favorable a été émis. La Congrégation pour la cause des saints a ainsi pu présenter l’ensemble des jugements de cette longue étude au Saint-Père.
Cette bonne nouvelle a suscité une onde de joie chez tous les pèlerins, les visiteurs et les amis de l’Oratoire Saint-Joseph. Tous ont été invités à unir leur voix en prière d’action de grâce. Les événements conduisant aux prochaines étapes du processus de canonisation seront communiqués au début de l’année 2010.

BROTHER ANDRÉ Benedict XVI confirms a miraculous healing due to the intercession of Brother André Montréal, December 19, 2009 - In Rome this morning, the Holy Father, Benedict XVI held a private audience with Mgr. Angelo Amato, SDB, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. During the audience, the Holy Father authorized the Congregation to issue a decree concerning a miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Brother André, CSC, founder of Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. Born on August 9, 1845 at Saint-Grégoire d'Iberville in the diocese of Saint-Hyacinthe, just south of Montréal, Brother André died on January 6, 1937 in Montréal. He was declared Venerable on June 12, 1978 by Pope Paul VI and was beatified on May 23, 1982 by Pope John Paul II in Rome. With joy filled hearts, the administration and the personnel of Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal has learned that his Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI has just acknowledged as scientifically inexplicable, a healing due to the intercession of Blessed Brother André. Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, Archbishop of Montréal, was elated by the news. “Brother André takes pride of place among the builders of our diocesan Church.” The vice postulator for the cause of the canonization of Brother André, Father Mario Lachapelle, CSC, indicated, “The road to the canonization of Brother André is now open! The moment finally seems to have come. Today, one of the most significant pages in our collective history has been written.” In Rome, the Superior General of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Father Hugh Cleary, CSC, said, “What a grace for our religious family, to count among its ranks such a model of the Christian life offered to the world, a true inspiration for a welcoming, compassionate presence. Such good news!” The Rector of Saint Joseph's Oratory, Father Claude Grou, CSC, commented on the good news, “During these days leading up to the majestic celebration of Christmas, we have another reason to exult as we have learned that the Holy Father has officially recognized the miraculous cure which was obtained by the intercession of Blessed Brother André. This important step has revitalized our expectations to see Brother André among the saints of the Catholic Church.” As for the Superior of the Canadian Province of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Father Jean-Pierre Aumont, CSC declared, “Brother André is renowned throughout the family of Holy Cross as a man whose prayer reached the heart of God. The miracle which has just been recognized demonstrates just how much he still attends to human suffering and inspires the life and mission of the religious of Holy Cross.” This announcement followed upon a meeting of the Ordinary Congregation of Cardinals and Bishops. The 15 members of this group gave their favorable consent for the foregoing of the Cause. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints was thus able to present all the currently available recommendations to the Holy Father. This good news has given impetus to a great gladness on part of pilgrims, visitors, and friends of Saint Joseph's Oratory. We invite everyone to blend their voices in a prayer of thanksgiving. Details of the events leading up to the last stages of the process of canonization will be published at the beginning of the New Year, 2010.
