I am Sr Philsy Euphrasia belonging to the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel, familiarly known as the CMC Sisters. I was invited by the Bethany Sisters to give a retreat to their community at the Mother House. On the previous evening of my travel from Aluva to Mangalore I was conducting a prayer service for a group of sisters when an insect bit me exactly behind my knee. I did not pay attention to it, but there was severe itching on the spot all through prayer. After prayer, I noticed that there was a great swelling on the area of the bite. The sister nurse who was in the group did some first aid and the next morning I was able to travel to Mangalore as the swelling had subsided.
I reached Mangalore at night. By next evening I experienced severe pain in my leg and the area had become black in colour and pus had formed by night. That night I placed a picture of the Servant of God Raymond Mascarenhas on the affected area and prayed. “If you want me to help your daughters, you have to heal me within a day. If I am healed within a day I will give a testimony of the healing.” The pain was very intense in the night. The next morning I had no pain and I forgot about my problem and carried on with the conference and counselling.
When all my work of the day was over a voice within me said to me, “Now look at your leg.” I did and I found to my amazement that the entire affected area was completely healed, and the dried skin came off by itself which disposed of.
The next morning I gave this testimony to the group of retreatants.
My gratitude to God and SD Raymond Mascarenhas for the miraculous favour received.
