Linda Escanilla - 03/16/00 03:43:50 Country:Philippines Mass Intention:: Thanksgiving Miracle Testimony: When Mary Intervenes Since childhood, I had wondered how I would take it if a miracle would happen in my life, until one day in 1993, when it really did happen. It was something beyond the ordinary! After having been diagnosed with stage two cancer on my left breast, I was scheduled to undergo surgery on June 23. Fear enveloped me but somehow, faith in the Lord and the intervention of Mother Mary gave me the courage to accept the reality, and the hope for total recovery. So, on my way to the operating room I had in my hand a rosary which the doctor permitted me to hold as long as I could. I was told that normally they did not allow patients to bring anything in the OR. As they pushed me to the OR, I started singing praises to the Lord and afterwards, I sang Mary's Magnificat "My soul rejoices in my God, my spirit proclaims the greatness of the Lord..." Entrusting my whole being in the hands of the Lord and in the loving care of Mary Help of Christians, I suddenly felt comfortable and my fears disappeared, I continued the song, "He will raise me up on eagle's wings...hold me in the palms of his hands..." With these words of Mary, I felt assured that I was safe in the hands of the Lord and I believed I would be healed. After the operation, the doctor congratulated me and happily revealed that no post surgery cobalt was needed. Tissue pathological findings during the operation showed that the growth was a benign tumor! I knew then that the divine healing of Jesus worked on me with the intercession of our Lady, the Help of Christians! For me, it was a miracle!
