A US Roman Catholic deacon has spoken of how the agonising pain he had suffered from a spinal disorder disappeared after praying to the revered English Cardinal John Henry Newman.

Jack Sullivan, from the US archdiocese of Boston, Massachusetts, described the moment the "agony" had left him and he had been able to walk, to the "utter amazement" of medical staff, after he prayed to the late Cardinal.

"I said 'please Cardinal Newman, help me to walk, so that I can return to classes and be ordained' (as a deacon). Suddenly, I felt a tremendous sense of heat, very, very warm and a tingling feeling all over my entire body. It was very strong and lasted for a long time," he said.
