Mysterious Ways
A friend of ours was diagnosed 2 years ago with a rare form of cancer and told he had only a short time to live. We had a healing mass for him and the entire parish prayed fervently for him to be healed. Well, whether it was the prayer or just a medical mistake in the first place, when he went back in for tests prior to surgery they found it was not the form of cancer they had originally thought and were able to get it all with surgery. Now comes the news that when he went in for his yearly scan to make sure everything is still okay, they find that the artery from his heart to his lower intestines has a 50% blockage. Not life-threatening at the moment, but he does need immediate surgery. So, had he not had to have the scan for the cancer, they probably wouldn't have found the blockage before it was too late. So, the cancer may very well have saved his life.
Wow. Wow. What more can you say to that really except God DOES work in mysterious ways.
