Liverpool: Paralysed sailor’s cure declared ‘miracle’ by church

Mr Traynor, who had epilepsy, had originally been deemed too sick to travel to the shrine, where Catholics have prayed for miracle cures since 1858 following reported visions of the mother of Jesus Christ.

He was badly injured while serving with the Royal Naval Reserve forces in the 1915 Gallipoli landings, when a bullet tore through his right armpit severing the nerves to his right arm and causing paralysis.

He returned to Liverpool walking again after bathing in the baths at Lourdes, which are believed by some Christians to be a source of healing, and was greeted by huge crowds – but the church never ratified the apparently inexplicable cure at the time.

Mr Traynor recovered his strength to the extent where he was able to run a coal haulage business, often lifting heavy sacks with ease for the rest of his life.

His epilepsy also apparently vanished.
