A Sonshine friend shared the following story about the power of prayer.
As you know I like you have witnessed the power of prayers. One instance I carry in my heart to this day. I was shopping in the outlet mall in a men’s store before Christmas about 5 or 6 years ago and while looking at the merchandise the elderly salesman was straightening the merchandise in the other isle, when an elderly gentleman came in that he knew.
After greeting each other the salesman asked him how is your dear wife doing? He replied it’s a miracle her cancer is gone! What happened that’s wonderful. He replied three months ago the doctors told us the cancer is no longer in remission and she has about six months to live. We were shocked and in a few days she asked me if we could try one thing more. I said of course, she said let’s go to Lourdes with the Grotto where the Blessed Mother appeared to Saint Bernadette.
So I told her to make the arrangements. I took money out of our savings and we went to the Grotto at Lourdes on a religious tour. I thought it’s the least I could do, because I didn’t know what else to do for her. We visited the grotto and we prayed, on our flight home she said, I think I will go and see the doctor because I believe something has changed.
So we went to see
her doctor and she asked him if he could rerun the tests he did a month ago,
which he did. We got a call a few days later and he wanted to see her
again. We went to see him and he examined her and asked a few more
questions. He said I cannot see any signs of cancer. The tests came back negative
and I don’t know how to explain it. She is cancer free, of course the doctor
wants to check her out in six months. His friend was speechless. I
managed to leave the store unnoticed.
I swear by the grace of God that I witnessed this story and it has stuck with
me forever in this detailed description. Your Sonshine stories brought this miracle
back to life. I know you must have witnessed many such miracles as well,
to know and believe.
Thanks for this memory dear friend.
Lord, I pray for all my Sonshine Friends and everyone on our prayer list.
In April, I visited the Mother Cabrini shrine in Golden, Colorado. Her grotto has a spring that people believe has miraculous powers. People are allowed to take this sacred water home. Father Alphonsus, pastor in Denver delivered a vial of this sacred water to me to share and bless anyone in need. Kindly forward your email if you would like a blessing with the Mother Cabrini sacred waters. Located at the Mother Cabrini Shrine, it honors St. Frances Xavier Cabrini. The site features a beautiful chapel and serene natural surroundings. Sacred waters are believed to have healing properties, attracting many visitors. The shrine includes a statue of Mother Cabrini and scenic hiking trails. It serves as a place for reflection, prayer, and spiritual renewal.
