Wow 2 New Miracles Attributed to Saint Charbel of Lebanon - the Saint with the Most Recorded Miracles Aside from Blessed Mary
The "Saint of Miracles" : Two New Healings Attributed to Saint CharbelANNAYA, LEBANON — The Monastery of Saint Maron, in Lebanon, is witnessing a surge in pilgrims following reports of two new miracles - extraordinary medical recoveries attributed to the intercession of Saint Charbel Makhlouf. These latest accounts have reignited global devotion to the 19th-century Maronite monk, often referred to as the "Miracle Worker of Lebanon."
Saint Charbel has performed well over 30,000 recorded miracles when he was alive as a Catholic Maronite Monk and Hermit, after his death on December 24, 1898 and to this current day in over 133 countries around the world. St Charbel has performed miracles to people that are sick, disabled, mentally ill and dying from various religions including Christians, Muslims, Buddhist, Hindus, Jewish, Druze, Alawites, Atheists to just name a few.
While the Church maintains a rigorous process for official validation, the details of these recent cases have captivated the public and medical communities alike.
The Reported Miracles
The two cases involve individuals suffering from chronic, debilitating conditions that defied conventional medical intervention:
A Sudden Restoration of Mobility: A middle-aged woman, previously paralyzed due to advanced spinal complications, reportedly regained the ability to walk after a visit to the saint’s hermitage. Witnesses describe a "transcendental peace" preceding her first steps.
The Disappearance of Inoperable Tumors: In a second account, a young man diagnosed with aggressive, terminal-stage tumors showed a complete and "unexplainable" clearing of all malignant cells. Attending physicians have noted that the recovery lacks a clinical precedent given his previous prognosis.
A Legacy of Healing
Saint Charbel, who lived as a hermit until his death in 1898, has been associated with thousands of reported healings over the decades. His tomb in Annaya remains a focal point for those seeking physical and spiritual relief, regardless of their religious background.
"We see science reach its limit, and then we see something else take over," noted a local volunteer at the shrine. "For us, these aren't just headlines; they are signs of hope."
Scientific and Clerical Review
As per standard protocol, the Lebanese Maronite Order is documenting the medical records and testimonies associated with these events. These files will be submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints at the Vatican for further investigation to determine if they meet the stringent criteria for "miraculous" classification.
Pope Leo XIV(see video above) visited the tomb of Saint Charbel Makhlouf at the Monastery of Saint Maron in Annaya, Lebanon, it was a profound moment. As the Pope knelt before the "Hermit of Annaya," the atmosphere was one of heavy silence and deep reverence, acknowledging a saint whose incorrupt body and posthumous miracles have drawn millions of pilgrims across religious divides. This pilgrimage served as a powerful gesture of solidarity with Middle Eastern Christians, emphasizing Saint Charbel’s role as a beacon of asceticism and healing in a fractured world. Pope Leo XIV symbolically united the universal Church with the mystical traditions of the East, honoring a legacy of prayer that transcends geographical and denominational borders.
