“My daughter was in the burn center for 21 days. I prayed to St. John because he was burn alive submerged in boiling oil, according to history. I was praying that he may intercede for my daughter's healing from a skin graft on her arm with no complications such as infection as she was spiking fever during this time. I was also praying that we may get discharged before Christmas so the kids can celebrate Christmas and attend Mass. As soon as I finished the novena, we got a word that her graft was healing and sticking as it should be on the 20th and we got discharged the 23rd of December. Praise be to God for His faithful saints in heaven looking after us.”
