ALMOST BECAME BLIND

 

Saul got up from the ground and, opening his eyes, he could not see. They took him by the hand and brought him to Damascus. – Acts 9:8

 

Being a single parent, my aunt immersed herself in being the breadwinner for her only daughter who led a somewhat wayward life. My aunt was the typical nominal Catholic who’d rather rest on a Sunday because she’d already spent six days working for long hours. She worked to the detriment of her health until she began to go blind.

She was so afraid of losing her managerial position in a large company that she resorted to prayer and attended The Feast even though it didn’t appeal to her.

I introduced her to Me-ann Tee of the Healing Ministry and joined in praying over  for her. She cried a bucketful of tears during the pray-over and surrendered her ordeal to the Divine Healer.

Guess what? My aunt was healed in less than a week! Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there among them.”

More than the tears that cleansed her soul and our powerful prayers, her faith had healed her. Ems Sy Chan (havenofleeanne@gmail.com)

REFLECTION:

Are you blinded by the mundane pleasures of life? Go back to the Source of Light and you will see clearly again.

 

Father, we know that You send those gargantuan problems so that we’ll be desperate for You. Take over our problems.

 

St. Louis Mary de Montfort, pray for us.
