I was suffering from
occasional bouts of severe stomach pain for the last several years. In
1976, it was diagnosed as the beginning of an ulcer. As mine was a transferable
job, over the years, I was transferred to different states in India and
also abroad. In all these places, I consulted doctors and continued medical
treatment. In 1992, I underwent a medical check up at Apollo Hospital,
Madras, and it was then confirmed that I was suffering from duodenal ulcer.
The treatment continued without much success. Even a slight change in my
diet would cause pain and problems to me. In March 1996, I attended an
Inner Healing retreat at Potta. During the retreat God gave me grace to
forgive and I could forgive and seek forgiveness from a number of persons
who had offended me and who had been offended by me. When I realised how
much God loved me, all my anger and hatred against others gave way in the
form of tears. The more I cried, the more happy I became inwardly. On the
penultimate day of the retreat, I could experience God's healing touch
on me. Father Mathew Eluvunkal announced that some body's ulcer had been
healed. Although I was sure that it was mine, I hesitated. Then suddenly
I could hear his command, "Come on, it is you, get up." Then nothing could
stop me from jumping to my feet and praising God! Thereafter, till this
time I have never been troubled by that nagging ulcer pain. Praise the
Lord. God has been showering millions of blessings on me and my family
members. Today I serve as a counsellor at the Divine Retreat Centre at
Muringoor. In addition, I do whatever I can to spread the message of God.
Praise the Lord!
