My Cry Came to his
Ears

be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts" (Ps 119:173).
For three years the lump
was there inside the disc on Thomas' back bone. He could not bend or raise
his arm. He could not sit down even for a few moments. He needed others'
help for every need. The body swelled up. When medicines failed to be of
use, he had to wear a belt and be confined to bed. There was no hope of
a cure. Surgery was evitable, said the doctors. Thomas decided to attend
the retreat for sick people at Divine. During the service conducted by
Fr Naikomparambil, Jesus gave him perfect healing. He can now sit down
and raise his arms. There is no pain in the spine and all the swelling
has subsided. He does not have to wear a belt any more. Praise you Jesus,
Thank you Jesus!

For two years Celestina suffered
extreme pain in the back. The bones were wasting away. The lump on the
throat, paralysis of one arm and poor sight in the left eye added to her
discomfort. Doctors prescribed traction. Celestina decided, instead, to
attend the retreat for the sick at Divine. On the second day of the retreat
she was completely healed.The lump is no more there and all other ailments
are fully cured. Praise you Jesus, Thank you Jesus!

Two years ago Mary's right arm
suffered a stroke. Medication proved futile. In a year's time the whole
body was paralysed. On hospitalisation, it was learnt that Mary had contracted
muscle TB. It will be total paralysis declared the doctors. Treatment would
be useless. Mary's power of speech began failing. But with faith in her
heart,she came to Divine with help from others, on a stretcher. On the
second day of the retreat father announced, "The Lord is healing Mary,
paralysed below the waist". Mary felt somebody touching her. A warm feeling
creeping up her leg! And then, as if by divine inspiration, she jumped
up from her bed. Her husband tried to prevent her but she made her way
up to the stage. On the fourth day father again announced, "God is touching
the person stricken with muscle TB". Out of sheer joy Mary tried to praise
God loudly. Miraculously she got back her power of speech! How wonderful
was Jesus, her saviour! Praise you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!
