This letter to you is from Francis Gonsalves of Belgaum. One day through our Parish Priest, I got a copy of The Compassionate Pastor 2010 edition. I had never before heard the name of Father Raymond Mascarenhas.
However, as I went through the book I loved to read repeatedly the works of the great and true servant of God.
After reading the book, I started spreading the name of Father Mascarenhas to my friends, relatives and well-wishers and the works of this true servant of God.
Then after contacting you on phone, you sent me the later editions of The Compassionate Pastor. Thank you so much dear sister. Later you also sent me the holy pictures containing prayer for the beatification. On receiving, I started distributing them, asking the recipients to send testimonies after receiving the favours.
I regularly pray at least twice a day for the early beatification of Father Raymond; may he receive the honours of the altar very soon. May he be declared a saint; may he be known to the whole world. May all read his name in the spiritual calendar, in Bible diaries by celebrating his remembrance day as a feast day.
I have suffered a lot in my life since my birth, now I am in the age group of 59 and suffering from diabetes and blood pressure. I am suffering from some other ailments too, but I have not given up praying.
Now through the intercession of Father Raymond Mascarenhas one by one my sicknesses are being healed. Since 12 years, I was suffering from severe burning sensation of the feet. It was irritating me too much and it was difficult for me to walk. Now I am feeling far better and can even walk without any problem. Secondly, I am having severe cervical pain I am sure that this also will be healed.
