My Cry Came to his Ears
 
"Let your hand 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!
