On 27th September 1998,
I went to the Divine Retreat Centre for the first time. It was with a heavy
heart, harrassed by many problems, physical and mental, that I went there.
Three years ago, as a result of the "Hit" spray, an antidote for mosquitoes,
my lungs had been weakened considerably. The doctors who treated me and
my children had a hard time trying to keep me alive. I could not live without
oxygen as even the slightest whiff of smell suffocated me. It was a non-christian
colleague in my office who strongly persuaded me to go to the Divine. There
were 9000 people attending the retreat that week. On the second day of
the retreat Fr. Mathew Thadathil announced that two people suffering from
respiratory complaints were being healed. My name too was mentioned. Considering
the large number of participants, I thought it must be another Rema. After
the retreat I have not been taking any medicine but I am completely all
right. It was me that Jesus picked out, along with several others, to give
me a complete healing. Thank you Jesus! Praise you Jesus!
