A dear friend of mine contracted a very rare eye disease, in which parasites were eating away at his cornea. A bit at time, the vision in that eye became obscured. He said it was like trying to look through a black cloth.
He went to a university hospital and attracted the attention of all of the most senior professors. They gathered around and made a case study of him. All were in agreement that there was no way to reverse the loss of the cornea that had already occurred, and they also agreed that his cornea would continue degenerating until it had all been eaten away, and thus, he would go blind. It was a matter of time; they guessed 3-4 months until the eye was lost forever. They said there was no surgical intervention or medicine that would make any difference.
I began praying for his eye. I visualized it reforming, so that the missing cornea would grow back. I pictured it in my mind as clearly as I could. I also kept “talking to” his other, healthy eye, and asking the two eyes to work together so that the sick eye could “emulate” the pure health of the good eye. I would say to the bad eye, “look at the neighbor next to you, and emulate his pure health! You once looked like that too, and you will again.”
I asked God to intercede on his behalf, and I also asked St. Lucy who had been martyred and whose eyes had been removed.
My friend’s cornea completely grew back within a two-month period, and not only that, there is no scarring! Even when they examined the eye microscopically, no scarring was visible. Every one of the doctors on the case said that it was not explainable by modern science. They even stated intentions to draw up a scholarly journal article about his particular case, hoping it would be published by JAMA.
He mentioned to the doctors that I had prayed for his eye to heal, and they all had a good laugh! He challenged them by saying, “Well, if that didn’t do it, what did?” They admitted that there was no acceptable scientific explanation for how this was possible.
