You have given me the shield of your salvation
 


When my family and I came to know Jesus and began praying to him, he granted us several favours . My father's eyes were blinded by cataract. He could not see even after being operated on. It was at this time that we went to Potta and came to know Jesus. The first time was in 1992 and then we made a retreat at Divine. There was great peace and joy in the family. A visit to the Angamaly Little flower hospital and a simple treatment for the eye, at this time, gave back to my father his eyesight. Now he can read even the small print in the Bible. God gave me the grace next to attend a retreat directed by Thomas Paul through which I came to know Jesus better. I was struggling to get a job. My father and brother are in the Railway. Jesus blessed me too with a job in the Railway though I did not ask for that favour. A house for my sister and complete healing of all my mother's ailments, were other blessings that the Lord gave me out of his bounty. Now my entire family live as servants of the Lord, doing his work. Praise you Jesus! Thank you Jesus!

Usha Rani, a native of Coimbatore, was stricken with a deadly malady - blood cancer. Eyesight and the power of hearing failed. For two months she was completely in bed. She participated in the retreat at Divine, interceded for the thousands of sick gathered there. As a result of the prayers of several prayer groups and sick people,the Lord touched Usha Rani in that hallowed hall of the retreat centre. Usha Rani regained her eyesight and power of hearing.

Ajanta Pamela could not walk for over a year and a half. The pain in both the legs and joints was unbearable. It was with the help of others that she came to the convention led by Frs Mathew Naickomparambil and Augustine Mundackatt. When Father Mathew announ-ced that Jesus was healing some with weakened legs, Pamela felt a current pass through her whole body. She was relieved of despair and the oppressive pain in her mind. Immediately the legs were strengthened andthe pain left her. Pamela walked forward to the stage praising and thanking God. "Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth" (Ps 108:5)
