To the sick you gave back health; you restored what was lost, the sorrow-stricken were the objects of your tender compassion-even the dead you raised to life when the wounded heart cried out to you from the depths of anguish.

The answer of this, my prayer, may require a miracle. Even so, are you not the Saint of Miracles, who when on earth had but to speak and the mightiest wonders were wrought?

One word from you and my prayer will be granted. Oh, speak that word and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. AMEN.
