Testimony of faith: that he changes his life

This October 2, 2023, I quietly garden when I feel my side right crash, from the forehead to your foot fingers. A stroke? In the hospital, doctors spot a brain tumor, responsible for blocking nerves. The next day, they told me that it comes from a metastasus detached from a primary tumor in the lung. I rush on the internet and understand that I have only 15 % chance of surviving. My thoughts get carried away. Why me? What about my family? My children are not married, I will not know my grandchildren. Quickly, I have to organize myself, distribute my property, ensure the future of my wife.

On Sunday, I “make the wall” of the hospital and join it for mass. We settle in a church where a group of young people disabled arrives. The sweetness of their guides impresses me. I think: “Don’t complain, you got so lucky in your life”, and very quickly: “Abandon yourself to God, trust. Returning home, I tell what happens to me. Here is a WhatsApp group forms. Every day at noon, they are dozens to pray for me! I feel worn. Union is strength.

At night, I sleep badly, so I pray. I do not ask to heal, but to accept and not suffer. One day, I am told about healing prayers in Saint-Nicolas-des-Champs (Paris IIIe). A friend accompanies me there. Astonished, I discover the words of knowledge*. One of them touches me: “Someone suffers from cancer in the lung and implored from the Lord the grace of force, not healing. He has to change life, healing will follow. I take it for myself. From then on, I trust the Lord, like the driver of the bus where we go up. Last December, the doctor announced that the lung tumor almost disappeared: “I have never seen that. »Huge joy!

My life has completely changed. I come back from a retirement in Penboc’h (Morbihan). I will give part of what I have received, put my talents at the service of others, visit the sick. In fact, my conversion is spiritual. I have the certainty that God exists and listens to us. I dialogue daily with Jesus and see myself as at the show. Before, I was in the middle of the room, now I am in the front row.
