Thank you very much for your pray, it is now six month since I asked your pray so that I get scholarship and answered your pray thank you, Glory to God.
I would like to thank St Camillus for favors and blessings received especially for the reversal of impending death for a woman expected to die within days who is still with us almost one month later and who's health has stabilized. The prayer to St Camillus was found recently in my Father's wallet five years after he passed away from cancer. Praise Be Jesus Christ!

I fournd a little white paper with
LITTLE CROSS OF ST. CALLIMUS - Blessed for the sick on the front
inside there is a small red felt cross
inside the paper reads:
Note
This little cross has been blessed according to a formula approved by the
Congregation of Rites. The sick person should fasten it to the scapular
or on the inside of the garment, while trustingly invoking Saint Camillus,
the patron of the sick.
Don't remember where I got it but have been keeping it in my purse.
Last Friday, I lost my hearing in my right ear. I ask St. Camillus to pray
for me to help restore my hearing. I am very honored to have this
cross to remind me how great our Father is and hope it is not selfish
to pray for myself before others at this time. God bless

I went to a healing service and was told that I need to pray to St. Camillus. Truly a blessed saint. I work at a hospital and pray for many there, so I guess that is the connection. I am praying for my husband as he is deaf and cannot hardly hear the God's words spoken at Mass. Please pray for Sonya and David, who are both fighting addictions. Please intercede for me for all the newly diagnosed cancer patients at the hospital. May they find peace and healing of their heart, soul, mind and body. Praise, Glory, Honor and Thanksgiving for your prayers.
