I am a student studying abroad. Two months ago I was diagnosed with Hepatitis A. I was very sick and I had to be hospitalized. I was extremely weak and relied on my friends to take care of me after discharge. However I had a longing to have my mother take care of me but she could not come citing that she had to attend a retreat. By the grace of God my dad agreed to finance my coming home. On reaching home my mum encouraged me to attend the Vincentian retreat from 24th to 29th March ’08. Attending this retreat was the BEST decision God made for me. During one Eucharistic celebration we were asked to touch the part of our bodies where we were sick, with our left hand and reach up to Jesus for healing, with our right hand. I touched my liver and felt the familiar sensation of joy and satisfaction and I left that day believing Jesus had healed me. HE HAD! I went for a liver function test and everything was normal. Later on I again fell sick and on going to the hospital was found to have worms and amoeba. But I am really thankful to God because if Jesus has not healed my liver, I would not have been able to take the medication to eradicate the worms and therefore get better. I thank you Jesus, you always know best!
