MIRCULOUS CURE
ONE OF MY GRANDMOTHER'S FOURTEEN CHILDREN
WAS A HEMOPHILIAC. AS A CHILD HE OFTEN
SUFFERED TWO OR THREE NOSEBLEEDS A WEEK AND OFTEN
NEEDED TRANSFUSION FROM HIS MOTHER. WHEN HE WAS ABOUT
EIGHT HE HAD A NOSEBLEED WHICH NO ONE COULD STOP.
HIS MOTHER SAW A RELIGIOUS PROCESSION GOING BY ON THE
STREET. MANY OF THE PEOPLE WERE MAKING
DONATIONS AND RECEIVED BITS OF BLESSED
COTTON AS A REMEMBRANCE OF THE
FEAST. THE MOTHER WENT OUT AND MADE A DONATION.
SHE PUT THE BLESSED COTTON TO THE CHILD'S NOSE AND
IMMEDIATELY THE BLEEDING STOPPED.
THE SON HAS NEVER HAD ANOTHER NOSEBLEED.
A YOUNGER DAUGHTER KEPT THE COTTON AND STILL HAS IT.
