Beautiful! Thanks to the Lord for the grace of healing that Lisa carries. This story reminds me the Monograph, "Testing Prayer" by Candy Gunther Brown.
"When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man." - Matthew 9:8
"The only trouble is that modern miracles are not so well known as the earlier ones, nor are they sufficiently pounded into people's memory by constant reading, so that they may stick, as it were, like gravel in cement. Even where pains are taken, as is now the case in Hippo, to have the written depositions of the beneficiaries of these graces read to the people, only those in church hear the stories, and that only once, and the many who are not present hear nothing, and those who have listened forget in a day or so, and you hardly ever hear of a person who has heard a deposition telling it to someone else who was not in church for the reading." - St. Augustine, The City of God, 447 - (quoted from the Master's degree thesis, Gratia Gratis Data: A Thomistic Perspective of Grace in the Life of the Church by Sister Mary Josephine Spellman, O.P.), Page 8.
