The Word which Heals
all Humanity
"No medicine or
ointment cured them.
They were restored
to health by your word, O Lord" (Wis 16:12)
From 1972 onwards I used
to get blisters and sores on my ankle and palm. The doctors said it was
eczema. In 1975 homeo medicines gave me some relief. But in 1982 the malady
became worse. A trial with ayurvedic treatment again brought about a temporary
cure. But in 1992 both my hands and feet were badly infected. I switched
back to homeo treatment. By 1995 I was so bad that I had to sit in the
department staff room with legs stretched out. It was in May 1996 that
I went to Divine Retreat Centre. On the very first day Fr Panackal announced
the healing of thirteen cases of allergy-the last name was mine. I looked
at my foot. There was no visible change. But the next day onwards the swelling
began to subside. By Friday all the infection had gone and the sores dried
up. I had in the meanwhile stopped all medication. The very next day, after
the close of the retreat I contacted the doctor. He declared me healed.
A few days more of discomfort recurred later but I was fully healed without
any medicine. "It is impossible for medicine to provide a remedy for this
kind of disease. We cannot but acknowledge this healing obtained without
medical aid "-this was the certificate the doctor gave me in writing. Thank
you Jesus! Praise you Jesus!
