MIDDLE EAST (EWTN News) – Two new miracles attributed to St. Charbel Makhlouf have been reported since the beginning of 2026. The Lebanese Maronite is associated with more than 30,000 reported miracles. Georgianne Walker, from Indiana, underwent abdominal surgery in December 2024, which was soon followed by a serious infection in the lower abdomen and remained unhealed for ten months. With no progress, her surgeon ultimately concluded that a second operation was necessary. Walker was visited by a friend who had been healed through the intercession of St. Charbel three years earlier. The friend brought with him a small vial of oil blessed using St. Charbel’s relics and encouraged her to pray for his intercession and anoint her wound with the oil. Walker stated that she prayed and applied the oil to the wound, after which it healed completely. She reported a full recovery and no longer required the scheduled surgery. The second reported miracle of the year was recounted by Racha Charbel (no known relation to St. Charbel), from Lebanon. An MRI scan revealed a tumor on her spinal column. It could only be treated through surgical removal. On the night of January 6, Racha said she placed her hand on a picture of St. Charbel and asked for healing. The next morning, an MRI scan revealed an unexpected finding: The tumor had completely disappeared.
