I was driving home on February 4th 1999. Suddenly my eyes went blank. I could see nothing beyond five feet. Gradually I realised that some serious sickness had befallen me. Due to some urgent business matters, I could not at once consult the doctor. My family members were upset. On the 19th began a retreat by Fr Augustine Vallooran at Mississauga, Canada. It was a friend who told me about it. I decided to obey the urge within and to attend it. I promised Jesus that I would, henceforth, use my eyes only according to his will, never for indecent films, books or sights. My eyesight would be only for God’s glory and service.

I began experiencing the marvellous effects of prayer. Each day my eyesight became better. However, I kept the appointment with the ophthalmologist who, after extensive tests, assured me that my eyes were perfectly all right. I attended the retreat along with my wife driving the car myself. The Lord had healed me even before I took the trouble to reach the venue of the retreat. Thank you Jesus! Praise you Jesus for your wonderful love!
