Pope John XV, at a council of Rome, proclaims his Canonization of Ulrich of Augsburg, January 31, 993 A.D.: “...of the life and miracles of Venerable Ulrich, recently bishop of the holy church in Augsburg...Because the presence and congregating of the priests is attested to by the Holy Ghost, it is certain what we read, for neither can our truth deceive, of which in the Gospel is this statement: ‘Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.’ (Matt. 18) [The pope goes on to mention the many miracles attesting to the manifestation of the saints including]...to illumine the blind, to cast out demons from obsessing bodies, to cure the lame, and to show forth myriad other signs... [the pope then goes on to decree the memory of Ulrich for the veneration of the faithful, as the Church venerates all saints] that the honor may redound to the Lord, who says ‘He who receiveth you, receiveth me’ (Matt. 10:40)...”
