Sustained by immediate Oxygen on flight and an urgent Airport ECG, I reached home at 3 AM and immediately went for the morning Mass to thank Jesus. Diagnosed with three 100% blockages, BYPASS Surgery was set under Cardiovascular Surgeon Dr. Kaushal Pandey at the Hinduja Hospital on 27<sup>th<\/sup> January, 2025. The previous day, I prepared my soul through the Sacraments of Confession, Holy Communion and Anointing. &#8220;YOUNG AT 80&#8221; and a fearless child of God, I walked into the operation theatre, shocking the medical team with my courage. Through total surrender and an eight-hour surgery, Jesus healed me and I was discharged in 6 days. With simple and ordinary faith and belief, recognizing, acknowledging and thanking the Power of God to work in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Terence Dsouza<br>SCC 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my family we were praying for the gift of a child for many years. I visited the Shrine of Infant Jesus in Nasik. After praying, this is the message I got in Exodus23Vs25-26 \u201cIf you worship me, the Lord your God. I will bless your food and water and take away all your illnesses, in your land no woman will have miscarriage or be without children, I will give you long lives\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This message was fulfilled after 2 years when my son and daughter in law visited Nasik and I was at Divine Retreat Center. I told my Jesus, they are at your feet, fulfill their wish as told to me when I was at your feet. And in the same month she got pregnant and as I prayed for the protection of my grand child, I had a vision of a tortoise in the sand. I will protect the child just like a tortoise is protected by its shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This message I received in my vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now my granddaughter is 3 years old .
