The lame walked. The blind could see. Lepers were healed. These are
some of the miracles attributed to the intercession of Father
Patrick Power. In November 1929, a million people flocked to his
grave in Holy Cross Cemetery in Malden, Massachusetts, to seek one
thing, a miracle. Despite the fact that Power had been dead for
nearly six decades, many insisted that they had been miraculously
cured by him. This is the story of the mysterious life, and
afterlife, of this enigmatic, Irish-born, Boston priest who never
made it a day past the age of 25. Using previously unpublished
interviews, and archival documents, Supernatural Power examines the
historical record surrounding all of the known miracles attributed
to Father Power, during his life, and after his death. Supernatural
Power also objectively examines the complex events of autumn, 1929,
when Power's grave seemed to turn into a "wonder shrine." Is
Power's final resting place still, to this day, a sacred location
for the miraculous, a portal between the powers of this world, and
the next? Historian John Koerner, author of The Mysteries of Father
Baker (Western New York Wares, 2005) has once again written a
meticulously researched book that examines why people, even to this
day, insist that Patrick Power may have been more than just a young
priest, but a gifted "wonder worker" as well.
