Great news for us here in Ireland. One of our saintly women, Nano Nagle, the foundress of the Presentation Sisters, has been declared Venerable: the Holy Father has signed a decree recognising that she lived a life of heroic virtue. A nice gift to us in Ireland in these difficult times. We now await a bona fide miracle through her intercession so she may be beatified. As far as I am aware, I'm afraid there is nothing on the horizon yet, so we will have to pray hard.
We have a few Venerables here in Ireland for whom we are awaiting miracles, so far nothing: the Venerable Catherine McAuley, foundress of the Mercy Sisters; the Venerable Edel Quinn (whose Cause is actually under the jurisdiction of Nairobi), and the Venerable Matt Talbot. I believe there is something for the Venerable Matt, but as far as I am aware there are no developments as of yet.
