Delivered by his Mercy
 
"With weeping they shall come, and with
consolations I will lead them back,
I will let them walk by brooks of water,
in a straight path in which they shall not stumble"(Jer 31:9)


About 2 months ago, I had written to Fr Augustine Vallooran, requesting prayers for an early open heart surgery I had to undergo as also for a quick and complete recovery so that I could make a trip to India to attend the retreat at Potta, as desired. At the time of writing to Fr Augustine, I had been informed that it would take about 9 months for the operation as there was a long waiting list, and I had to await my turn. However, to my surprise, within two weeks of writing I was informed by the hospital that my turn for the operation had arrived. I was operated on March 25 and discharged on March 30 after a successful operation . My progress has been remarkable.
 
With a heart full of gratitude I must thank the Almighty God for his great blessings and our Blessed Mother Mary for taking care of me through this trying time.
 
Praise you Jesus and the Holy Spirit for all the blessings bestowed upon us!

My name is Mathew Paul Mahesh. For the past 15 years I was suffering from a severe headache. For 3 to 4 days a week I used to suffer a lot. Due to this I was not able to take any food and I also had a problem of vomiting. There was also immense pain in my eyes, ears and forehead. Last December a small Chalakudy group conducted a retreat in our area. During the prayer, as the brother kept his hands over me and prayed for me I felt something like a shock all over my body. From that day on till now I have had no headache. I praise our Lord Jesus Christ for showering his blessings over me and healing me. Praise you Jesus, thank you Jesus.
