My husband and I have been married since 1982 and ever since I was having irregular periods, and required hospitalisation and medication. It was a tortuous experience over the years.

I had seen many doctors and underwent laproscopy and lapratomy. My fallopian tubes were operated upon, shortened and opened up. Yet I did not conceive. Various other forms of treatment were done- but everything failed. I had taken ayurvedic, homeo and naturopathy medicines which were also fruitless.

In 1994, we attended a retreat at Divine Retreat Centre at Muringoor and during the lunch break on Wednesday, some force took my husband, Ralph, back to the English Retreat hall. He was talking to himself saying that he was not going voluntarily but some force was taking him. He was alone in the hall. He opened the Bible and got the passage from the Book of Judges, chapter 13:4 which read, "Now be careful not to drink wine or strong drink, or eat anything unclean" in block letters and it continued, "For you shall conceive and bear a son".

Ralph attended one more retreat with a Hindu friend and just within a few minutes after their arrival for the retreat on Sunday, Fr Augustine Valooran, announced that three women had been cured of bleeding problems. The first name father called out was Rufy. Since there was no Rufy at the retreat centre, it should be his wife who was at home.So thought Ralph.

When he returned after the week's retreat, he found me cured and he decided not to drink for a year. Exactly after a year in August 1996 when I went for the regular check up, I was asked to come a week later to undergo laproscopy. The finding of the laproscopy was that I could not conceive.

We then came to Australia to attend our niece's first Holy Communion on 29th December, 1996. Since I was having inflammation in my stomach, my sister-in-law suggested a pregnancy test which proved positive. A scan showed I was five months pregnant. On May 20th, 1997, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Rabekah Antonette Feegrado who is God's gift to us in every sense.

We were privileged to give our testimony at more than three meetings in Australia while Frs Mathew Naickomparambil, Augustine Mundackatt and Sr Teresa were conducting a series of retreats and healing services in the months of October and November 1998.

We never had a house of our own. God has given us a beautiful house also.

We praise and thank our God and Lord Jesus Christ who keeps his promises and who is loving, truly caring and compassionate. Praise you Jesus. thank you Jesus, Alleluia.
 

The first visit to the surgeon was scary. He concluded that my condition was beyond surgery. However, he sent me to the neurologist, whose report was also alarming in that I had RSI ( a severe form of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome ). Medical Science hadn't much to offer apart from surgery with every chance of the pain worsening. The other most impracticable advice being, to refrain from using my hands. Despite treatment there was no relief. I could not hold a pen or clap my hands or lift them up.

I attended a day retreat on 24th October '98 conducted by Fr Mathew Naikamparambil and Fr Augustine Mundackkat. During his first talk, Fr Mathew discerned that a person with sore hands and shoulders was being healed. I didn't acknowledge this healing. However I observed as the day passed, that I was beginning to clap and raise my hands in praise and worship-something I was incapacitated to do due to my stiff, numb, swollen fingers and frozen shoulders.

Once again after the celebration of the Holy Eucharist Fr Mathew affirmed that the Lord was healing someone with sore arms and shoulders.

The Holy Spirit of God brought me to my feet and I claimed my healing with shouts of joy and jubilant waving of my arms. I praise God for his mercy and love in healing me, an unworthy sinner.
 

I am a married person with family living in Australia. In 1991 October 2nd my sister expired in Kerala. After 55 days in 1991, November 25th ,our only son suddenly passed away in an accident. This was the darkest moment in my life. Though God had prepared us with faith ( attending regular Sunday Mass, daily family prayer, attending novenas, prayer meetings etc), many times I asked the Lord the same question. Why??? Deep despair over-whelmed me. In the meantime I got shoulder pain. I could not lift my right arm. I also had weakness in my right leg. Without any warning while I was driving, the right leg used to give way, having no strength to accelerate or stop the car. I went to a few different specialists and had a few x-rays taken but nothing was revealed in them.

Among all these physical problems, I had the greatest urge to be away from these earthly things and to be with God and pray to God for peace. In this state I met my friend Lilly Mammen and she mentioned Potta and suggested that I visit this prayer centre. After one year and a half I visited Kerala. On May 2nd 1993, I went to Divine Centre for a retreat with my Aunty who had a stomach problem and my younger sister who had asthma trouble! The atmosphere there was very different from that of usual prayer meetings. People always praising and thanking God! The whole of that week I did not pray for myself but prayed for all the people who were present there and for many others. But I felt extremely peaceful in mind and heart.

On the seventh morning during the last session, which was the Holy Mass, I felt something like an electric shock on different parts of my body as if someone were prodding me wherever I had pain and weakness. I saw the Sacred Host in the size of a full moon extremely bright and shining which the human eye can't envisage. But at that time I did not realise that the good LORD was healing me. Again for the 2nd time I went to Muringoor for a week's retreat with my family in 1996 December. We all had the divine touch of the Holy Spirit. I could not witness any extraordinary phenomenon. But by God's grace when Fr Mathew Naikamparambil's team came to Australia in Oct. 1998, I had the opportunity to witness to the people in Melbourne. Thank you Jesus. Praise the Lord.
 

I met with a very bad car accident in 1994. An almost head-on collision with a semi-trailer. I suffered a lot of injuries, mainly to my right leg, which doctors had, at first, wanted to amputate. Meanwhile , I also suffered severe trauma and shock, and every time I closed my eyes, I could see the big semi-trailer with all its lights blazing, heading straight towards me. On being admitted in the hospital, I began saying the Stations of the Cross and the tears that were streaming down my face would not stop, until I got to the 12th Station. At this point, all my fears from the accident melted away and when I closed my eyes, I could not see the semi-trailer anymore. I was very grateful for the medicine, and I have actually been able to drive a car for a year now. The specialist was able to save my leg with a three and a half hour operation. He put 15 screws in the right leg and 2 metal plates in my ankle, but it left me with virtually no flexibility and with pain in both legs and knees. I was unable to kneel down during the two healing masses of Fr. Mathew Naikamparambil and Fr. Augustine Mundackatt. I closed my eyes and felt I was all alone and couldn't feel anyone else around me. Father then said, ''Raise your hands'', and I felt I had no control over my hands. They were raised up by themselves and I was full of joy. At that point, I felt that I was able to kneel down with no pain in my knees. Also my legs felt very flexible and free as well. I felt wonderful, and so praised and thanked God and wanted to go on praising and thanking God.

Now I can kneel down and move my knees and ankles freely. The word of God became true in my life. '' O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. Behold, I will cause breath to enter you and you shall live. And I will lay screws upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.'' Ezekiel 37:4-6
 

Born with deformed hips, I was for three years in plaster as a child. I have had also 4 hip replacements over the years. My legs still had pain and muscles would "Lock-up" on occasions. During worship time at the retreat the muscle pain vanished.

I am married to David, have 2 boys, 1 girl and 3 grandchildren. My first operation was done when the youngest was 2 years old. The second hip replacement was 10 years later, still with not much improvement.

On 23rd of October 1998, I attended the retreat at St Michael's Church in Traralgon, Victoria, Australia. I had attended charismatic retreats and healing Masses earlier. My parents were not Christians, but involved in a Satanic cult. I was sexually abused by my parents even as a baby, to please Satan.

I became a Christian after marriage, at the age of 42 years. I was a twin . When my mother was 7 months pregnant, they took one baby out and left me in the womb. I knew she was looking at me when she was taken. I am A Catholic now because of her prayer. During an inner healing service and prayer by Fr Augustine Mundackatt, God healed my wounds.
 

At the healing Mass when Fr Mathew Naikamparambil said some people were being healed of knee problems, I testified that my pain had decreased - but not fully gone. A few minutes later, father announced that a lady had fallen and hurt her knee and that God was healing her at that moment. I praised and thanked God . Praise God - Hallelujah! Amen!

'' Jesus is a mighty King, Healer of every disease!''

On the following day, during the healing service, after Fr Augustine had made the deliverance and healing prayer, Fr Mathew announced, ''The Lord Jesus is healing somebody's injured shoulder, from a persistent pain.'' My right shoulder, was injured 17 years ago when I had a severe fall, injuring my back badly. I had major back surgery on this right shoulder in 1991, but I had not regained full movement. The pain continued until this day. During the healing prayer, however, I felt a sort of vibration within my shoulder. Jesus touched me, I am completely healed!
