A healing story connected to Our Lady’s intercession.

Transcript

Good afternoon, my friends.

I have just sent you the photo of the first intercession of Our Lady to heal this little child you see in the picture.

Two years ago, the mother and grandmother came to see me at the church. They told me that their granddaughter had been discharged from the provincial hospital in Surat Thani after staying in the ICU for ten days.

She was born with a heart valve that would not close. Because of this, she lacked oxygen. After ten days, the doctors told the family that she was too young — only one month old — to undergo heart surgery. They were told to accept the painful reality that the child might die.

Before returning home, they came to the church to see me.

I said, “Let us go to our Mother at the hill — Phanom Hill.”

We went up the hill together. I took water from the spring and gently placed the baby in the water, asking for Our Lady’s help and intercession.

At first, the baby was crying. But then she began to smile.

She was healed. The signs of gasping for breath disappeared.

Now she is two years old.

We thank our Mother for interceding for her — and many more events have happened in that place.

A recent story of healing connected to the fountain water.

Transcript

Good afternoon, my friends.

I would like to share a story that happened just four months ago.

It concerns a university professor who teaches physics at German Technology University. He holds a PhD in satellite formation and is one of the designers involved in Thailand’s satellite programs.

One day while teaching, he suddenly fainted. He was immediately brought to the hospital and admitted to the ICU because he had lost consciousness.

An MRI was performed to determine the cause. The doctors discovered a malignant tumor in his liver, approximately seven centimeters in size. This tumor was draining his strength and energy.

Around that time, some of his relatives visited my place and went up to the hill of Our Lady. I gave them a bottle of water from the fountain of Our Lady.

The youngest sister, who was caring for him in the ICU, began giving him one spoonful of this water each day.

He began to regain consciousness and grow stronger. The doctors could not understand why his recovery was happening so quickly. In just over a week, he was alert and gaining strength.

After one month, another MRI was performed.

The results showed no more malignant tumor in the liver. It had completely disappeared.

The younger sister called me to tell me what had happened. Her brother had returned to teaching at the university.

They thanked Our Lady for her powerful intercession through the water of the fountain.

Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, where many healings have taken place in France.

I believe that this hill of Our Lady in Thailand may become a future Lourdes — a place where Our Lady heals her children, and many will come to her.

Thank you very much. See you again, my friends.
