The Spirit Moves Over Australia

The word of God became true in my life

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
