My dear mum was still in a critical condition. That was the time when I got the opportunity to attend the retreat. One of my sisters also came with me. I was wavering whether to go or not but with great faith and confidence I decided to go. My superiors objected, saying if anything happened to mummy they would not be able to inform me. Even my brother and sisters objected but the call of Jesus was very strong. I knew for sure mum would be healed. So I went. I really experienced peace and calmness of mind amidst many worries. As I was attending the retreat somehow I felt the presence of the good Lord healing my mum. My faith grew stronger and stronger and I forgot all about my mum and my brother-in-law. I was praying for others. And on the 3rd day as we were praying and thanking the Lord, and Fr Augustine Vallooran Fr Naickomparambil were celebrating the Eucharist, it was announced that some people were being healed and touched by the Lord. I felt my mum and my brother-in-law were being healed. I too received a great miraculous healing. I just cannot believe it. For 14 years I had been afflicted with filaria on my left leg and my leg was all swollen up and I had taken treatment. I went through great difficulties. There was no sign of relief. I had my leg always bandaged and as soon as I came home for holidays, I attended a retreat at Potta and there I received healing. The swelling slowly started to disappear and I could bend my knees for about two weeks, but I failed to witness to the Lord’s healing touch and again I couldn’t bend my knee. It was stiff and I couldn’t walk . But this time at the healing session I felt a burning touch on my left leg. As I was praising and thanking the Lord I could utter no words. I was sweating and I thought something was happening to me. I could not express my feelings to my sister who came with me and suddenly I started praying in tongues. I felt my whole body was shivering and when father said three people who could not bend the knee or walk were healed, I slowly knelt down to see if I could kneel and so Idid, easily! I shouted, praised and thanked the Lord for his abundant blessings! I can’t express the joy that filled my soul! I received many blessings and when I returned to the convent all the sisters were in wonder and praised and thanked the Lord. Then I went to the hospital to see my mum and to my joy she was already discharged from the hospital. What an experience of God’s love! I went running home, blooming with happiness and peace. At once all at home knelt down and praised and thanked the Lord for the abundant blessings he had showered on me and my family. Praise the Lord! Till today I have had no problem with my leg and I am happy whatever happens to me!
