The Healing – Diagnosis: Inflammation of Leg

December 29, 1932    The Healing – Diagnosis: Inflammation of Leg

A sick person came to hospital with an inflammation of the leg. The pain was unbearable! It did not help him any mitigation. The x-ray showed that it was Tuberculosis of the bones. The Doctor decided to operate his leg to help him. A Sister hearing these words decided to pray a Novena to our dear Foundress. In the morning of the ninth day of the Novena – it was First Friday – the sick person received the Eucharist and said that he has no more pain. The healing cannot be explained in a natural way.

The Healing of a Five-month Old Boy

November 15, 1932   The Healing of a Five-month Old Boy, Franz Tabourean;
Diagnosis: Colisepsia

Five-month old Franz was very seriously ill and on November 11, 1931 doctors gave up hope for his cure. The community of Sisters decided to pray the Novena to Mother Alphonse Marie. They prayed three times “Our Fathers”, “Hail Marys”, and “Glories”. They expressed gratitude to God for the graces granted to their Foundress – her personally, as well as the whole Congregation.
On November 14, 1931 the doctor left the boy’s room with the words that the boy will pass in a half hour. Despite this state, the boy still lived on the second day. Sister Valesia, who took care of him, saw that it was his last hour. This condition lasted until evening. When the parents left the room there was an improvement. The boy got well, started to take fluids, and in a short time he was completely healed.

It is necessary to notice that when the Sisters ended the Novena, the boy unceasingly cried – day and night without knowing the cause. The family prayed again the Novena to Mother Alphonse Marie, but this time as a thanksgiving to God. Then the boy calmed down.

Conversion

April 2, 1931  Conversion

In the hospital, there was a patient who did not want to hear anything about religion. No one dare to hope that this patient would approach the Sacraments on Easter. Even the priest said: “Do not tell me about him!”
The Sister who took care of him asked the elderly Sisters, in Niederbronn, to pray with her to Mother Alphonse Marie that all patients in the hospital will receive the Sacraments. The Sister did not hope in vain. She was not disappointed. Without talking to the patient, he asked for a priest to hear his confession and the next day he received Holy Eucharist.
