Great is Your Mercy, O Lord
 


I am Agnes Louis. For ten years I was afflicted with diabetes. In 1996 I was admitted in the hospital for pneumonia. The illness became so serious that I had to undergo a major operation and then for two months and a half I stayed on in the hospital to be treated for jaundice. There appeared a big lump on the back of the neck. I was reduced to just 35 kg. In the midst of intense pain my friends suggested that I go to D.R.C, Muringoor and pray. On the way to Kerala my illness took a turn for the worse and I had to be admitted in the Medical Trust Hospital at Ernakulam. An MRI scan revealed that I had to be operated on for the lump on the neck. The doctor advised me not to waste time going for a retreat but to fly back to Bangalore for the major surgery. On the way back I stopped at Potta and prayed. On the advice of Fr. John Kanichery, I took part in the retreat at Muringoor along with my family. I put all my trust in Jesus and ate the food served in the Divine. I participated in the retreat fully prostrate in bed. During the time of praise and worship I began to feel strengthened physically and the trembling of the fingers ceased. At the healing session, Father Panackal announced that two people were cured of diseases connected with the back bone. I had some relief and had to continue with medication. But no one could diagnose my illness. It must be bone tuberculosis or cancer-that was everyone’s guess. Before returning to Bangalore I went to see the neuro- surgeon at Mother Hospital. It was confirmed that I had bone TB. One more month in the hospital and then suddenly I began to experience healing. Back in Bangalore I was able to resume duty on September 25th 1998. I am perfectly all right now. It was the power of God that healed me of this deadly disease. Thank you, Jesus!
