At Vallarpadam, near the altar, some times we find "Bread offerings" made by grateful faithfuls for miraculous physical healing received. These breads will be in the shape of legs, hand or the whole human body itself, depending on the healing received.
Three months ago, my mother hurt herself on under her feet with a small thorn wound. Unfortunately it got worse with puss and we had to take her to hospital, where the young doctor cut out the affected part making it a gaping wound.
She was diabetic with a heart condition. It took two months to heal completely and all the while she was laid up pretty much depending on us for her daily needs. For us it was a testing period that all of us stayed together in love and took care of her patiently.
Thanks to His grace everything went well and she made a "bread offering" at Vallarpadam.
Indeed when we have troubles, the way we pray, the way we remain close to god is different. Wish we had the same intensity when things are good too.
