About three weeks ago, I was standing outside the foyer of the church, where I met a fellow brother in Christ who works for the church. I asked him how he was, and he grimaced in pain, saying his knee was giving him problems. I was just sharing with him that folks our age are prone to wear and tear, and when we least expect it, something out of the ordinary happens.
A very dear brother in Christ, and who is also a professor, Jake, was just sharing with me, when he was in Singapore, that he was just crossing the street when he, if I remember correctly, was trying to avoid a car, and just there and then his knees just gave way. . He was in excruciating pain constantly thereafter. He had to go for physiotherapy and the works.
So, as I was sharing with this brother in the church, I told him that normally I would pray for him there and then, but because our parish priest had already given direction that no layperson should pray over anyone, in the Church premises, so in obedience, I told him that I would lift him up at the Holy Eucharist and pray for his complete healing. He was thankful.
During mass, from the start to the point where the Holy Eucharist was lifted up, I lifted my brother in Christ there and then, and I prayed earnestly for a complete healing. Praying that our Lord is the Lord of the impossible, and nothing is too great for him. I had also lifted both my mother and mother-in-law too, and an encounter ministry classmate were all lifted up at that very Holy Eucharist.
Today, three weeks later, I bumped into that same brother again, and he was sharing with me that the very next day, he had a complete healing. So, praise and glory be to our Lord, Jesus Christ.
At the same time, I also remember that my encounter classmate also had a healing, which was, in itself, a miracle. I wasn’t praying for her alone. There were many people praying for her. But together, we praise and glorify our Lord, Jesus Christ, who has heard our prayers, for he is truly the Lord of the impossible. Amen.
