I most gratefully and humbly would like to place on record and testify to the favours received through the intercession of our Father Raymond Mascarenhas, the Founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of Little Flower of Bethany.
My husband Narendra Gurung (non Catholic) was suffering from severe infection on his right toe for which he was even hospitalized for 9 days in February 2012. Doctors diagnosed it to be cellulites. The infection got worse. Despite being treated by several doctors and skin specialists for months even to the extent of surgically removing the nail off the toe, there was no sign of cure. The toe continued to ooze out pus causing excruciating pain. He could not walk even.
I, being a member of the Bethany Lay Associate in Kolkata, was given the Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God Father Raymond Mascarenhas. I prayed to Father Raymond every night for the healing of my husband’s toe. To our utter surprise thanks to God and Father Founder, my husband’s toe is totally healed. This was manifested when we consulted a general surgeon – he asked us to remove the bandage and said not to bother as nothing was wrong and advised us to just take an x-ray of the toe. The x-ray revealed only a fracture in the toe. Miraculously without even a tablet or ointment the toe totally got healed on its own.
I have deep faith, gratitude and love for our Father Raymond Mascarenhas. This is more so after reading the touching life story of Father Founder. I, till date, continue to pray every day to Father Raymond and for his intercession for my two sons, particularly for my elder son, Abhishek Augustine Gurung (who is suffering from confused identity), for God’s guidance and right direction in life!
I am confident and with deep faith in God and Father Raymond I will soon testify many more favours of his powerful love and miracles.
May God’s Goodness soon be showered over all mankind through the Canonization of the Servant of God Raymond Mascarenhas.
