As the relics of Blessed Oscar Romero were brought out for veneration during his beatification Mass in San Salvador, the cloudy skies parted and a ring of light \u2013 known as a \u201csolar halo\u201d \u2013 appeared around the sun.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I think this one of the most supernatural things I have ever experienced in my life,\u201d Father Manuel Dorantes told CNA May 29.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How many other lesser supernatural things did Father experience?<\/p>\n

A priest of the diocese of Chicago and Spanish assistant to the director of the Holy See press office, Fr. Dorantes was present in San Salvador for the May 23 beatification of Archbishop Oscar Romero.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This guy works for FrancisBishop, merciful Blase Cupich.<\/p>\n

Romero oversaw the diocese of San Salvador from 1977 until March 24, 1980, when he was shot and killed while saying Mass. In February Pope Francis officially recognized him as a martyr, and his beatification took place in his former diocese just over a week ago.<\/p>\n

The ring around the sun appeared once\u00a0Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, had finished reading the official decree proclaiming Oscar Arnulfo Romero as a martyr and a blessed, Fr. Dorantes recalled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So despite the fact that Romero was not actually martyred for the faith, and no miracle was defined, God himself signified his approval at the moment the beatification became official!<\/p>\n

After the decree was vocally translated into Spanish, the choir began leading pilgrims in singing the traditional \u201cGloria\u201d while a group of deacons brought out Romero\u2019s relics \u2013 including the bloodstained shirt he wore the day he was killed.<\/p>\n

Then \u201cthe weirdest thing occurred,\u201d Fr. Dorantes noted, explaining that since it had been raining the day before, the sky was completely cloudy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the relics came out, as we were singing the Gloria, all of a sudden, the heavens above us opened up, and the sun came out. A perfect circular halo formed above the sun.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You see, the halo around the sun was a sure sign that the halo Francis gave Oscar Romero is authentic.\u00a0 Can you imagine all the weird, yet unreported, things happening in the sky over Rome these days?<\/p>\n
