In almost every store in Medjugorje little prayer cloths can be purchased with various pictures of Our Lady and Jesus on them. People stand in line for a chance to wipe the liquid “tears” with the prayer cloths. Although I do not have official verification on this, someone in our group said that there had been a person in New York who had a miraculous healing after praying with one of these cloths. Also, Zeljka told us about a lady in Poland who had a miracle with the cloth.
I purchased a number of these cloths and wiped the “tears” with them. I also had these cloths blessed by a priest in Medjugorje and by Our Lady’s motherly blessing at apparition time. When I came home, the Holy Spirit inspired me to share these cloths with our subscribers. Although I would like to send one to each and every one, obviously I can’t. So the next best thing I thought was to lend them out to people. I prayed for a confirmation if this is really what God wanted. I opened the Bible at random and pointed to the following passage: It is to be square when folded double.”(Ex 28:16) – which describes the cloths exactly. I began to lend them out to people for a week at a time. Then one of our subscribers in Florida got a word of knowledge from the Lord on how to multiply the blessings by making more of these cloths by touching them to the original. She got very specific instructions on how to make them. This was verified with a very holy priest. The story is in our October, 2006 issue. Only God knows how many prayer cloths have since been made from the original 25 from Medjugorje.
The one in the middle with the gold cross is one that we made. The others are all originals
Prayer Cloths
What is a prayer cloth?
In Acts 19:11-12, it speaks of how cloths (aprons and handkerchiefs) were
touched to Peter and Paul and taken back to the sick who were often cured of
their ills. It says that "God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul;
so that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons,
and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them."
Prayer cloths are sacramentals. As in the case of all sacramentals, its
power comes not from the sign itself, but by means of the Church’s official
(liturgical, not private) prayer of blessing-a power the Church derives from
Christ Himself (see Matt. 16:19 & 18:18). As the Vatican II document on the
Liturgy states, both Sacraments and sacramentals sanctify us, not of
themselves, but by power flowing from the redemptive act of Jesus, elicited
by the Church’s intercession to be directed through those external signs and
elements. Hence sacramentals like prayercloths are not to be used
superstitiously as having self-contained power, but as “focus points”
funneling one’s faith toward Jesus, just as a flag is used as a focus point
of patriotism. As with the use of Sacraments, much depends on the faith and
devotion of the person using this sacramental.
How do I pray with a
prayer cloth? In many places, the custom exists to place the prayer cloth on
a special table and to place petitions on the cloth as well as pictures of
our loved ones and those in need of spiritual or physical healing. The
prayer cloth may also be placed directly on the sick person or held while
praying. Prayer cloths can be used for the dying, the ill, the aged, the
lonely and fearful, cures of all kinds, conversions, consolations of soul
and body, family difficulties, burials, calamities, special occasions, and
devotional praying.
It is recommended that
when praying for someone who is sick, both people touch the cloth as you
pray:
OUR LADY’S PRAYER FOR THE
SICK
Our Lady dictated the
following prayer to Jelena, one of the locutionists from Medjugorje:
O my God,
this sick person here before You has come to ask You what he desires and
what he believes to be the most important thing for himself. Grant, O God,
that these words enter into his heart: “It is important to be healthy in the
soul!” Lord , may Your Holy Will be done unto him in everything. If You wish
that he be healed, may he be given health. But if Your Will is different,
may he continue to bear this cross. I pray to You also for us who intercede
for him. Purify our hearts so as to make us worthy of Your Holy Mercy to be
given through us. Protect him and relieve his sufferings. May Your Holy Will
be done unto him. Through him may Your Holy Name be revealed. Help him to
bear his cross with courage.
(Pray the Glory Be prayer three times)
If you wonder why some
people are healed and some are not, you can read speculations about this in
our
March, 2007 issue.
If you wonder what the
reason is for the weeping, you can read speculations about this in our
November, 2006 issue and the
April, 2007 issue.

After making this startling discovery, I immediately subscribed to The Spirit of Medjugorje Newsletter and requested an original prayer cloth. This unforeseen discovery and events thereafter have deepened my devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary and drawn me closer to Our Lord in ways that I could have never foreseen. This was my first summons to come to
Medjugorje.
I used the original Prayer Cloth and began making more, to distribute to friends, acquaintances, at healing masses, to members of my rosary group and members of my parish. The production of more Prayer Cloths made from this one original, has become a labor of love.
I do it like this: I generally look for flat 100% cotton sheets of any size, and scour thrift stores, flea markets and yard sales for the best bargains. Any size sheet will work—the larger the sheet, the more prayer cloths can be made from it. Flat sheets work best.
After laundering and drying the sheet according to the instructions, I use pinking shears and cut off the top hem (usually about 3 inches wide) as well as the hem on the other three sides.
The next step is to fold the sheet in half, vertically and cut into two pieces. Then, I cut each piece in half again, and again, until I have strips that are 10-12 inches wide.
I then repeat the process, cutting each piece horizontally in half, half again, and half again, until the pieces that remain are approximately 6 x 6 inches. I then iron each piece and fold it into a small square, and iron once more.
After the ironing, I mark each cloth with the gold cross in the lower right hand corner, and stack them in piles of 21 in a plastic shoebox with a snap on lid ($.99 at Wal Mart). In this way, by making three each day, I can finish 84 in a month’s time. Of course, I can always do additional cloths when time permits.
I purchase 8 ½ x 11 light blue copy paper at an office supply store (hopefully on sale). Then, I print out 100 copies of the Prayer Cloth explanation, and fold each one in four, so that the letter head is facing front. I insert each one into a plastic zip lock sandwich baggie (Wal Mart) and put aside.
Then, whenever I feel the need to spend some quiet time with the Lord and His mother, I sit down in my rocking chair in a quiet room with a stack of prayer cloths and begin to pray.
As I hold the prayer cloths between my palms, I am filled with a sense of peace, and experience warmth which radiates from my joined palms as I pray. Although I have never been to Medjugorje, when I close my eyes, in my mind’s eye, I see a panorama of images from this little village blessed by our Blessed Virgin.
I knew I was being called to Medjugorje, from that Saturday in 2009, and knew that in God’s time, I would realize this calling. Now, hopefully, I will celebrate my 65th birthday in Medjugorje, on the 33rd Anniversary of the apparitions. I cannot wait.
This small square of cloth from half way around the world is much like “super glue”. It cements the belief of thousands in Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother, across the miles and around the globe, as it brings comfort and peace to those who make, distribute and use it.
Testimonies
with the Medjugorje Prayer Cloths
(Note: The
majority of the blessings here are from the ones that were made and touched
to the ones with the tears from the Risen Jesus.)
On February 19, 2014, my husband, Mike, contracted Guillane-Barre Syndrome. GBS is an auto-immune neurological disorder which rendered him paralyzed within two days. His conditioned worsened each day, but still had his mind and sense of feeling intact. This was the most horrific and frightening time for him and our family.
Due to the severity of his weakening illness, accompanied with his anxiety and fear, I restricted visitors to only immediate family. Our dear friend asked if she could visit and place a prayer cloth on Mike while we prayed together for the intercession of Our Lady of Medjugorje. He was sedated when she came, but we still proceeded in prayer. While we were saying the Glory Be to the Father, we heard Mike’s voice joining us in prayer. This was amazing in itself as he was sedated and very much in a deep sleep.
Most importantly, this was a turnaround in his healing. Our friend came everyday to pray, and every day we saw more signs of improvement. Tears filled my eyes as he was able to move his hand to touch mine. Although he had, and still has, a long recovery road ahead, we continue to pray and ask for healing. As he progressed, a different hospital was required which was further away. Although our friend could not come every day, I continued to place the prayer cloth on him and pray for healing. Due to a tracheotomy, Mike was unable to speak, but still prayed along with me.
The prognosis for Mike to walk again was about one to three years. He was walking within three months after his paralysis. The use of his arms and hands are also progressing in a shorter than expected time (minimum of two years). We are most grateful to Our Lady of Medjugorje for her healing intercession. This illness was a true test against our very strong and loving relationship of 42 years, but I’m happy to say that, through Her healing and our prayers, this test has only made us even stronger. ~ Patricia
ANOTHER HEALING WITH THE PRAYER CLOTH FROM CANCER THE PERSON IS NOT CATHOLIC -STAGE 3 TO ALMOST ZERO
~ Ray
My friend brought back a handkerchief from Medjugorje, and I remember in her presence I brought it to my nose and smelled it. There was no smell and then I put it away in a closed container. But several days later, in the presence of another friend, I opened the container, and there was a most glorious fragrance emanating from the handkerchief. The friend could also smell it. It was unlike any fragrance I had ever experienced before.

My sister sent her friend a prayer cloth about 2 weeks ago. She wanted it for her daughter who is fighting (and winning) a battle with addiction then she had this breast issue...here is what has transpired to this point: Last Friday, Kim asked me to pray the prayers for the prayer cloth with her, as she had never done this before and didn't want to do it "wrong". So, I held her hand, she held the cloth, and we did the prayers. Yesterday, was Kim's appt. for the lumps they found in her breasts. After the sonogram, the doctor came in..... confirming they were nothing to be concerned about. That's twice now...... my heart pains and pressure have gone away - unreal..... blood pressure has been good.......
THANK YOU, AGAIN!!!!
Love ~ Cathy
Wow!!! I just love confirmations!!!
~ Paulette
When I took my Rosa Mystica statue to a young woman named Carolanne a while ago, she let me know that she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in her one lung, and that it was fatal. She said that when the doctor discovered it, he told her that if she did nothing, she would have about three months to live, but if she went for the treatments, she would live for about a year. So the doctor was presently giving her the strongest chemo possible.
Then I prayed over her, and while she and I were holding a Medjugorje prayer cloth I asked the Lord, if His Will, and through the powerful intercession of His Mother with Him, to lift this cancer from her body and heal her physically, mentally, and spiritually, and give her a complete and speedy healing. I also asked him to give her His strength.
Then Carolanne and her mom and I prayed the Our Father together, and while we were praying this, the Lord gave me the strongest "Jesus bumps" with force, which started very slowly from the top of my head to my feet. I deeply felt that the Lord was healing her, and I told her so. When we finished, Carolanne shared with her mother and me that, while we were praying the Our Father, her lung was really pulsating. I said, "Praise and thank the Lord," and I truly felt that our prayers were being answered.
Shortly after Carolanne went for her routine scheduled CAT scan, the doctor spent a long while looking at it, as he couldn't believe what he was seeing – actually what he was not seeing! Then he said to her, "No doctor could have done this. It could only have been done through Divine Intervention." So Carolanne proceeded to tell him about being prayed over. Praise our good God!
~ Marge
We had tried for 5 years to conceive a child. After receiving the prayer cloth I conceived my daughter. When she was 3 months old I conceived her brother. They call it Irish Twins! They are same age for 2 weeks. Thank you again.

I
went to my Ladies' Guild meeting this morning, and one of the ladies who
happened to have asked me for a Prayer Cloth approached me with the
following story. She said a friend had cancer and knew she was dying.
Unfortunately, the doctor had told her the type she had, she would
experience excruciating pain and bleeding at the end. When the pain
begain, she went to the Hospice hospital and her friend went in to visit
her, took the prayer cloth and prayed over her. She told me the pain
immediately stopped and her friend lived for about a week, was pain
free. All those who were close to this woman claimed it was through the
prayer cloth, she died peacefully.
~ Dot
My
sister called me for the second time to thank me again for the prayer
cloth. She had more good news. The full body scan showed no more signs
of cancer, and her mass is only rated a 2 out of 9 for
aggressiveness.
~Leslie
The prayer cloth was so helpful to my husband over several years of
illness. Prayers pulled him through many incredible circumstances in
his lengthy illness, amazing many doctors and nurses.
~Pauline
My sister in law, Colleen, saw bad spirits leave her house after
receiving one of the prayer cloths I made from the original one touched
to the tears coming from the Risen Jesus statue in Medjugorje. She
praised God. One Tuesday morning, my niece, Melanie was on her way to
work in a taxi which was involved in an accident. She was carrying the
prayer cloth in her bag. Everyone was thrown to the front of the kombi,
injured and bleeding. Nothing happened to her. Only when the kombi came
to a halt and she jumped out, did she realize how badly the occupants
were hurt. She goes nowhere without her prayer cloth.
A Muslim lady requested two prayer cloths for her very young pregnant
daughters. The one daughter’s blood pressure was very high, so she
needed to be transferred to a different hospital. Upon praying with the
prayer cloth, everything was normal by the time she got to the other
hospital. She was sent home. Her mom praised God Almighty. On August 24,
the Muslim lady's daughter, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She
named the child Maria!

My
husband received a prayer cloth when he was diagnosed with cancer. He
is now cancer
free and has the cloth with him daily.

In
November of 2011, when I took my Rosa Mystica statue to a couple named
Nancy and Tom, I prayed over their son Mark, age 44, who couldn't
breathe on his own and was on a respirator around-the-clock. Mark's lung
capacity was limited due to a neuroblastoma during infancy and the
subsequent chemo and radiation.
While I was praying over Mark, he and I held a prayer cloth I made from
one which was touched to the liquid weeping from the Risen Jesus statue
in Medjugorje. The liquid has been scientifically tested and found to be
human tears. Nancy and Tom joined us in praying The Lord's Prayer. As we
were touching the prayer cloth, we both felt something like electricity
go through us.
Nancy and Tom returned to their home in Georgia for the summer, and when
they returned to Florida in the fall of 2012, I again took my Rosa
Mystica to them, and they related to me that Mark had been breathing on
his own all summer and had a full-time job! I just praised and thanked
the Lord and His Mother!

Marie called me yesterday and said that the scan that they had done this
week showed that the disease of the liver is completely gone. It is a
miracle. They saw evidence of disease on a previous scan, but the
doctor called to tell her yesterday that it is GONE!!! He does not have
auto-immune disease of the liver. This is so fortunate because there is
no cure for this disease. Matteo is 19 years old. I am praising and thank God for His goodness
and miracles. Thank you for the prayer cloth.

We just returned from Newark, DEL. where our grandson Alex Paul was born
on Thurs. July 22-he was put in the NICU because he had fluid in his
lungs at birth. When we arrived-my husband and I went in to see him for
the first time-he was labor breathing-I took my prayer cloth and blessed
him-he immediately calmed down-my husband was shocked. I wasn't!! If
you remember this-we lost 2 grand baby girls born at this same hospital
2 1/2 years ago (triplets) and only Sam survived-I also blessed him with
this precious cloth-he survived.

Hello, two weeks, ago I requested an original prayer cloth in hopes of
receiving one to present to our women group at our church. I received
one shortly after my request. I have had it a week and will be sending
it back shortly. I copied the prayers and information, placed a medal
of Medjugorje in each plastic bag, with a made prayer cloth . Since the
cross of the Risen Jesus statue was Blessed by Pope John Paul the made
clothes were brought to Our Lady of Czestohowa Shrine and Blessed by a
Pauline Priest in Polish. The cloth (original) was taken to a very ill
friend of the Parish Vinnie Russo. We prayed with him and for him with
our hearts. Vinnie has cancer we are praying for a miracle. Vinnie
has a deep devotion to the Blessed Mother. Vinnie restored a grotto
which is located at 611 and county line it is called the Lost Grotto,
inside this small shrine is a beautiful statue of Our Lady. Myself and
three other women from our group at church decided to go to the Grotto
with the original prayer cloth and the ones made and pray especially for
Vinnie since this Grotto was restored by him for Our Lady. We were to
meet at 9:00am. I arrived at 9:05 and was there alone for 15 minutes. I
took the original prayer cloth and prayed the prayer for Vinnie and
touched our Lady's Hand to the Statue since Vinnie has held it . Shortly
after one of the women arrived and we prayed for her with the original
prayer cloth while we waited for the other two women to arrive .
Everyone was present at about 9:35 a.m. we talked and then all took out
our prayers clothes and started the prayers for Vinnie. As we started to
pray a few drops of water fell, it interrupted our prayer we looked to
the ceiling (jokingly saying maybe they were Mary's Tears since we had
the Tear Clothes of the Risen Jesus ) well, we started to pray and drops
of water were falling all over us . We knelt to pray, as we prayed the
drops of water were only falling over the area where the Large
Statue of the Blessed Mother stands . We prayed for everyone we could
think of at that point. It was beautiful . we could hear the pings from
the drops as we repeated the Hail Mary over and over It was unbelievable
! We cried and laughed at the same time. Mary waited until all four
of us arrived. Only as we started to pray was when the tears dropped.
We say tears of sorrows. This happened on January 21,2010. She let us
know that our prayers were heard. Mary I am sure is proud and thankful
that Vinnie has Honored Her so. Vinnie has heard this,
since he is too ill to travel to the Grotto. It seems Mary has sent a
special Blessing to him. What ever the out come is for Vinnie he is in
God's Hands. Thank you for loaning the Prayer Cloth to me.
~ Barbara
Belated thank you for the prayer cloth for my grandson... he is much
better....today's parents believe it is the antibiotics and
anti-inflammatory....but I believe in prayers
~ Margaret
I want to thank you for all your prayers and concern for me. I do
believe prayer is what got me this far. You can FEEL it. I am comforted
from my prayer cloth. This one evening I was praying and said, “ Dear
LORD, please surround me with the love and warmth of Your light and give
me PEACE.” Immediately in my thoughts I heard, “ I gave you a kidney
stone. It isn’t your time to go.” Before that, I was afraid. I wasn’t
afraid of my upcoming surgery after that. I am on the mend. I am still
praying. Thank you ~ Sharon
I called Sr. Phyllis Ann and we talked about her cancer. There was a
large tumor and they had to do surgery to remove it. I told her I would
send her a prayer cloth and to pin it on herself. I anointed it with
oil, and I spent the next three weeks praying. I called her after the
surgery and she told me that they had got it all out. They next had to
check her lymph nodes to see if they were clear. I called her on July
12, 2010, and she told me she was OK, and was cleared. ~ Marlene
God bless you for your wonderful mission. These prayer cloths are
amazing, and almost a security blanket for those who keep them and pray
daily.
~ Carol
I
have been receiving chemo treatments for a couple of weeks for colon
cancer, when I received a prayer cloth from a woman who is a member of
our church. I started to pray with the cloth daily, and the final
outcome was that the treatments were reduced from 12 treatments to 6,
and the severity of the side effects was minimal. With continual use of
the prayer cloth, I’m hoping that I can say I’m cancer-free and a
survivor.
~ Gary
I
was diagnosed with bladder cancer and also a heart rhythm problem. I
began to wear a prayer cloth in my bra. At this point, the cancer seems
to be gone and the heart problem is gone also.
~ Jean
I
had a problem with my liver. I taped a prayer cloth to my stomach before
my tests, and the problem seems to have disappeared.
~ June
I
just thank you ever so much for the tears of Jesus on the 2 prayer
cloths (the original and 2nd relic). My Godchild was assaulted as she
entered her apartment here in Dallas a few weeks ago - the man (robber)
took only her purse and left her only a small bruise on her leg - he
prevailed; later she was extremely stressed and a neck nerve developed
with pain on the back (inside) of her head. As soon as you mailed the
cloths I took her to Adoration Chapel and laid the original tears of
Jesus on her and prayed for her healing. She said the pain left her
immediately as we finished praying. God Be Blessed!!!! I shall make
copies of the original for some other people in need of God's touch.

My
son had a spot on his lung and it even had veins. Doctors were quite
sure it was cancerous. We received a prayer cloth from a friend and
prayed the Prayer for the Sick for him. When he had the biopsy there
was nothing. He is back to work. Praise God.
~ Nora
I
had drainage from my ear for 2 years and was treated by 3 specialists
who thought I had an ear infection. Nothing seemed to clear it up
though. They even put tubes in my ear like a child would have. Finally I
was sent to Philadelphia and a doctor there gave me the correct
diagnosis. I had a cerebral spinal leak, which they said was actually a
hole in my brain. They said it was very dangerous and that I would have
to have surgery that required both a brain surgeon and an ear
specialist. There was a possibility that after the surgery I could have
a loss of vision or loss of speech or other losses. I was terrified,
but felt that the alternative - death - was worse, so I decided to go
for the surgery. After I signed the consent papers, my aunt, whom I had
not seen in about 8 years, sent a prayer cloth and the related
information, including Our Lady's Prayer for the Sick. I put the cloth
on my ear and prayed the prayer. When I went for some pre-operative
testing, in the beginning of last November, the world -renowned surgeon
who was to do the surgery told me that the hole was sealed up and that I
no longer needed the surgery!!! I told the doctor, who was Jewish,
about the Medjugorje prayer cloth. He said, " Whatever you did worked
because I have no medical explanation." The other doctor, who was also
Jewish, said it was "Divine intervention."
~ Kathy
My
friend’s sister was at death’s door. She was semi-comatose. The family
all came to say good-by to her. I obtained a prayer cloth and a
Medjugorje medal for her and they laid it on her in the hospital. She
suddenly woke up to everyone’s surprise, and was then discharged from
the hospital!
~ Mary Lou
I have to talk to the lady who had swollen legs last week, I went to see
her in her shop and I saw how the legs are swollen. I had the
prayer cloth with me and we prayed together immediately after looking at
her legs while putting the cloth on the swollen legs. I went to the Lady
some time back and her legs were very fine, actually you cannot even
tell that her legs have ever been swollen.
~ Stephen (Uganda)
I had a cancerous tumor in my foot and the doctors were going to
amputate my leg from the knee down. A nun who is a friend of mine gave
me a Medjugorje prayer cloth and with prayer, doctors at the Mayo clinic
were able to save my foot by using a skin graft. I am very grateful for
the cloth and the prayers.
~ Janice
One of our ushers was told he had cancer. I gave his wife a cloth to use
on him. He is cancer free and prays and spreads his healing!
~ Susan
I
have shoulder pain, so when a friend gave me a prayer cloth I pinned it
underneath my clothes near my shoulder and the pain is gone.

Bob had a knee replacement, was glad to receive the prayer cloth. He is
doing very good.

On
Mother’s Day 2008 I left my car in front of my daughter’s house
overnight with my holy cloths inside the car and went home with my son.
During a morning storm, lightening struck a tree about 15 feet away from
my car and exploded. My car miraculously sustained no damage. There were
tree pieces all around my car and some pieces even traveled across the
street. To appreciate the enormity of this I must explain that the tree
was one of the oldest pines in Indiana. Everyone who realized my car was
not damaged said it was truly a miracle. I have 2 pictures to show how
miraculous it was that my car received no damage.
~ Frances
Our neighbor, was asking for prayers from everyone, because of Doctor's
diagnoses 70% loss of hearing and possible cyst! ;According to her
Doctor an operation was needed! Somehow she was scheduled for MRI -
Feast of the Miraculous Medal this Nov. She placed the prayer the cloth
on her head and while praying...constant thoughts would come to her
mind: "Do not worry, it will be a miracle, you will be healed...she
felt the words were from Jesus!" MRI showed everything clear...Her
Doctor said: it was indeed a miracle healing!... because according to
her, her Doctor was very sure of the cyst!!! So the MRI was not so much
to verify whether there was indeed a cyst, but more for her supposed
operation!!!! Praise be Jesus & Mother Mary!

Do
you remember me emailing you about a healing taking place here in
Australia with the skeptic lady regarding the prayer cloth, well I saw
here tonight and I asked her about the prayer cloths as she now makes
them for me, and she has another story about a lady with a very bad
cancer who after the prayer cloth has gone into remission.

A
lady narrated that she received a healing after she was prayed over with
the cloth. She had a terrible tummy ache, and had diarrhea. She placed
the cloth on her tummy and prayed. A friend was with her. The ache and
the diarrhea stop and never came back. Another story about the cloth
,but I cannot remember the details: it’s about pain on a neck, the cloth
was placed there and prayed, then the pain
disappeared.
~Virginia (Philippines)
I
have made many prayer cloths. My cousin had her breast removed 5 years
ago and just a few months ago she had pain where she had it taken off.
There was nothing wrong, but she just had pain there. I sent her a
cloth and as soon as she put it on the spot, the pain went away and has
been gone since.
~ Judy
I
still use my prayer cloth. My heart catherization shows that I had a
previous heart attack. They don't know when or why, but the good news
is that my arteries are, according to the cardiologist, pristine
at the present time. Thanks so much.
~Cindy
My
husband had cancer and was given a Medjugorje prayer cloth by another
man who was healed by praying with the cloth. My husband is now in
remission and I would like another cloth for a friend of ours who has
just been diagnosed with cancer. Thanks.
~ Marie
My
granddaughter has spina bifada and was told that she would never be able
to walk. I obtained a Medjugorje prayer cloth and put it on her knees
and prayed. Although she is not completely healed, she is walking –
something the doctors said she would never be able to do! We consider
that a miracle!

Last Sunday my husband and I were in a head on
collision. I just happened to have my Tears of Jesus prayer cloth on me at the
time (which is very unusual, because I always leave it at home) and it
was the only thing in my hand when I came out of the truck! It was in
my purse before the accident. I blacked out, or my mind won't let me
remember little details yet.
The E.M.T. workers and also police officers working the accident kept
asking me what I was clinging so tightly to. I was in shock and could
not answer questions correctly, but I could somehow tell each and every
person that asked, the story of the cloth and begged everyone not to
remove it from my hands. It was and still is in a baggie and did not
get soiled or damaged in any way! Praise the Lord!
I remember praying the Hail Mary over and over again in the
ambulance. I can't even remember what I prayed for, but I can remember
praying the Hail Mary out loud with the Tears of Jesus Prayer Cloth in
my hands. It seems as if this prayer cloth is ever present when I meet
with any harm. I also remember that I kept stressing to people who were
not Catholic that this was not some kind of lucky charm, but a Blessed
Reminder of what Christ did for all of us and that we should always
remember Him and most of all turn to Him in our lowest times, our
darkest hours!
Looking back on the accident. I am amazed that I did not only make it
out alive - but without every bone in my body being broken, as I am in
the severe stages of Osteoporosis. I know in my heart that it was Jesus
in that vehicle with me that protected me and saved my life.

A
friend of mine had cancer years ago and had gotten too much radiation.
This left her in excruciating pain. I gave her a Medjugorje prayer
cloth that I made and the next time I saw her she grabbed me to give me
a big hug because her pain was greatly diminished.
~ Jackie
I attended a novena and walked into the office to get a Mass card. I saw
the receptionist sitting behind the desk with her head in her hands. She
told me that she had had a headache for several days and medicine did
not help. I placed the prayer cloth on her forehead. She started to rest
in the Holy Spirit. The monastery phone rang and she was healed and
returned to her duties, just like Simon Pete’s mother-in-law. There was
a witness also present for this healing.
A month had passed and I visited the monastery office to see her and she
said she has been headache-free ever since.
~ Mary Ann
One woman claimed an eye healing and one woman had a sore mouth. I used
the prayer cloth on both of them with good results.
~ Mary Ann
One of our sisters who is the community artist has been diagnosed with
macular degeneration. I am requesting a prayer cloth for her. I have
great faith in how Our Blessed Mother uses this item. It surely has
helped me.
~ Sr. Joan
Thank you so much for sending me an original prayer cloth. So far I
have made almost 200 of them and giving them to a group that goes out to
the sick and prays with them. One women told me her shoulder no longer
hurts her and she was going to have to go to surgery. I don't think she
has been back to the doctor yet, but she does not plan on having surgery
anymore.
~Elaine
I
made all the prayer cloths and have given them to others! I took the
Original One this weekend and prayed over our grandson Sam (touched him
with this cloth) who is in the NICU in Delaware! He is up to 7 lbs. 10
oz. and 18" long-and has improved enough to maybe coming home this
weekend-we pray he will come home-he was born on Dec. 19 only weighed 2
lbs. 2 oz. and was only 12" long-only survivor of triplets-his two baby
sisters died! He dropped down to 1 lbs. 15 oz just after his birth but
is a survivor as you can see! GOD IS GOOD! His lungs were so
underdeveloped-but he is doing good now!
I
cannot thank you enough for the Prayer Cloth! GOD BLESS YOU OVER AND
OVER
~ Eileen
Praise be to God! The scan revealed that my husband is NOT DVT.
Yesterday evening, I took the prayer cloth and prayed over him. My
husband is a non-practicing Hindu. He even asked me to pray over his
heart. I called him early this morning - the swelling is down - he said
that the skin is looking pruned! He called me from the hospital this
morning - his leg is almost back to its normal size and although he has
a little pain, he can walk normally. He is an avid walker and goes
jungle trekking and hill climbing, so this means a lot to him. June,
Thank you so much especially the little slap on the wrist to remind me
to use the prayer cloth Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Blessed Mother.

I
just wanted to update you on my miracles from the Tears of Jesus prayer
cloth. Well, first I had my heart checked out and was told that the
inside of my heart looked extremely healthy. I have no blockages not
even the small ones that they always say don't count! Praise Jesus and
Our Lady
I am now off of oxygen! The test I had done on my lungs revealed that
they were also completely healthy! The doctor told me that he could
tell I was a non-smoker and that even my small parts of my lungs were
very clear and healthy. I was removed from oxygen and it turns out that
my low oxygen levels were being caused by allergies in my nasal
passages. I am now on different nasal sprays (prescription) to see
which one helps the most. But for now, I am breathing effortlessly and
my blood oxygen levels are normal! Praise Jesus and Our Lady!
My eye check-up revealed that I no longer have cataracts. Praise Jesus
and Our Lady!
So many other prayers were answered! But, out of consideration and
privacy for the people whose lives they touched, I will not mention them
here. I have been given so many gifts from God. My illness is nothing
compared to the Love and Peace that I feel in my heart. I will thank
God for this gift every day for the rest of my life.
~ Joanne
God bless you and the volunteers who take the time to make these prayer
cloths. I use mine almost daily and my husband has improved greatly
since he became so critically ill last November (2007).
~ Pauline
On Feb. 5, our daughter underwent extensive gum surgery. She was told
that it would be a two hour surgery, and later be in much pain,
bleeding, etc. Knowing that this surgery was going to be quite involved,
and having been told that she would be in pain and possibly bleeding, we
planned to stay with her.
When we arrived she was up and feeling fine. She had no pain or
bleeding. She didn’t even need the pain pills. We were so elated! I told
her that I had been deeply praying for her with the Medjugorje prayer
cloth and had asked the Lord to go through surgery for her and guide the
surgeon’s hand, and prayed for a speedy and complete healing. Our
daughter then told us that when the surgeon finished the surgery, he
remarked to her that he had done this surgery many times, but never
this fast. So I told my daughter to let him know Who had helped him
with the surgery. Later when she talked to the surgeon, he was amazed
that she had no pain, etc. I then told our daughter that she had a
miracle, and she said, “No, Mom, it was your prayers.” So I replied,
“Yes, it is through prayers that miracles do happen!”
~ Marge
I
am the mother of a 32 year-old epileptic son. Since mid-May of 2007,
when I began saying the prayer of Our Lady of Medjugorje and placing the
prayer cloth on his pillow each day, he has been seizure-free (with
medication). We are grateful to God and to Our Lady for this blessing of
good health and will continue this practice for as long as I am able.

Amelia
We
have a friend who had heart surgery and she had pain constantly for two
weeks. We gave her the Medjugorje prayer cloth with the tears and she
started praying the prayer that the Blessed Mother gave and the pain
left her permanently!
She told us that she doesn’t even feel that she went through an
operation as she feels nothing and really feels great! Praise God!

On
February20, 2007 my 6 year-old grand-nephew had an adverse reaction from
the flu. He was taken to the hospital, put on oxygen, given antibiotics,
etc. The doctors said 10 children in a million are affected by the flu
this way and most don’t survive. His pediatricians said they’ve only
seen one other case like this in 30 years. I prayed Our Lady’s Prayer
for the Sick constantly with the Medjugorje prayer cloth for him and the
Lord answered my prayers that he recover. He went home from the hospital
on March 8th . He has very little memory of the whole
experience, and has no residual health
problems as a result of this.
~ Betty
On Labor Day
week-end, my dad had a heart attack. For all intents and purposes, he
was dead, he was here only by machines in the hospital. When I got my
next issue of “The Spirit of Medjugorje “in the mail, I sat down to read
it and I had seen the prayer cloth article for sometime in past
newsletters and I had always had a calling saying " get one." Well I
called June Klins explained the issue at hand and June had it in the
mail before the mail man got out of bed that day! Up until this point
Dad hadn't made one lick of improvement, not a one! The doctors said at
a few points that it would be best to let him go. My sister prayed with
the prayer cloth for about a week and a half for everyone but especially
for pops. She told me about how she sleeps with the prayer-cloth and
prays it daily, all day long at times. Well that was a Friday night, the
next Saturday which was just over two months from when my dad had the
heart attack, I got a call from his wife, and she said that Dad came
right out of the coma and asked for Burger King!
~Darin
Wonderful
news to tell today. I ended up giving the Legion of Mary at my Parish
about 50 prayer Cloths with the story and prayer that goes with it. One
of the Legions took a Prayer Cloth, skeptically,(she only wanted to read
up on it as all this is a new thing) on a Tuesday at the legions
meeting. Her nephew fell gravely ill with no notice of ill health prior
to the event I am about to tell. On the following Thursday, doctors
found high diabetes which he never knew he had, had 6 drips and blood
transfusions all in a matter of 24 hours from loss of so much blood was
going into a coma, family was informed and the skeptic Legion brought
along with her the prayer cloth, asked for the family’s permission to
use the prayer cloth on her nephew. They said okay. She laid the cloth
over her nephew and said the prayer. By Sunday her nephew
was sitting up in a stable condition and able to tell his story. He said
for the first 2 days he could remember nothing but when he woke up
Sunday, just before he did, he saw 2 bright lights. He is well now
nothing wrong with him he was discharged and sent home. Doctors are
baffled?
~Adriana
When I was
making the prayer clots on Good Friday last year I received an intense
warm feeling that radiated up to my chest I was so overwhelmed with
emotion it brought tears to my eyes. Every cloth that I touched with the
original cloth that you sent me was hot to the touch. When I was
finished making the cloths both my hands wer read and hot. Since my
experience with the prayer cloth I have joided the Legion of Mary.
~Jennie.
My mother just called and said that she had
such horrible back pain last night (first time with back pain for her),
that my dad almost brought her to the hospital. Instead, my sister went
to their house and rubbed her back and gave her a pain pill. My mother
and I are the same in that neither of us can take pain medication. It
made her situation worse. Then this morning, as she was getting ready
to go to Church, (which she didn't think she would be able to do), she
remembered the prayer cloth that I had made and given to them. She said
she held the cloth to her back and she and my father prayed the prayer
and within minutes of praying with the cloth, her pain was gone
completely! She said she was able to not only attend Mass, but enjoy
it!
~JoAnne
I wish to thank you for allowing me to make
prayer cloths from your original Medjugorje cloth. This experience has
been very sacred to me. I made 3 batches altogether and when I made the
second batch, a lovely order emitted from the cloth- very musky and
sweet.
~Anne Marie
My friend and
I made 49 prayer cloths and tried to do so as slowly and prayerfully as
we could. I don’t quite understand it, but we each actually experienced
a physical warmth and some sort of energy in our hands, in addition to a
spiritual uplifting as we prayed with each one.
This morning
my back was causing intense pain; I have three disk in my back that
sometimes flare up. I was almost crying from the pain this morning. I
took my prayer cloth out and leaned over and placed in on my back and
all at once it felt like I put a heating pad directly on my spine. I
prayed the healing prayer and I was overcome with emotion. The pain was
gone!
~Jennie
Recently I
was scheduled for a series of medical tests that might require serious
surgery. It involved my kidneys and endocrine glands. My aunt suggested
I pray over the holy cloth she let me use. I did exactly that and ---
wow---I do NOT need any surgery and now my blood pressure is even under
control. I do believe there is power in prayer and the holy cloth.
~Connie
I was having
severe back pain for a long time. I thought I would have to go through
surgery. I spoke to my aunt and she gave me a holy cloth. I used it
twice. My last report from the doctor is “no surgery!” I am very
grateful that my aunt gave me the holy cloth.
~Mary Ann
I have had a
difficult time since February. Your kindness in sending the beautiful
blessing of the sacred cloth helped me daily these 5 months.
~Barbara
A perfectly
healthy Emma Rose was born today weighing 7 lbs. 3 oz. She is the
little one whose umbilical cord was not functioning properly about three
months ago. My thanksgiving for the prayer cloth from Medjugorie.
~Leslie
Mitch was
prayed over for healing with the Medjugorje prayer cloth. At the age of
87, he had a large cancerous tumor removed but was soon out of the
hospital attending Legion of Mary meetings and Sunday masses.
~Barbara
The prayer cloth is needed by a
friend in our prayer group. It is so powerful. My son is recovering from
alcohol after I placed it on his heart.
~Jean
I had a strange problem in which I would
fall out of bed at night. Since I started sleeping with the prayer cloth
a year ago, I have not fallen out of bed even once!
~Chris
I took the cloth to the nursing home where
I take Holy Communion. One lady was always sad and always crying. Since
I prayed for her with the cloth, she is smiling! But better yet- I took
the cloth to the hospital to pray for a lady in our parish who had been
in a coma for 4 weeks. After I prayed for her, she opened her eyes and
is talking now, and the nurse said that soon they will remove all the
tubes.
~Mrs. Z.
Thank you for letting us borrow the holy
prayer cloth! We could feel peace and comfort when praying with it.
~Carolyn
This is my second request for a prayer
cloth. My friend’s young daughter suffering from anorexia doesn’t want
to part with hers. She has such faith and is doing much better.
~Bette
This past week I had the privilege of
having one of the prayer cloths. It brought such incredible peace to me
and my family. I shared it with as many in my mission parish that I
could. All said they were overwhelmed with peace.
~Mary Anne
I gave out the prayer cloth to some sick
friend who needed it most, and is now get well.
~Robert (Uganda)
A friend I gave the prayer cloth to had a
great healing of her vision. It went from 20/400 to 20/40! Amen. Thank
you, God!
~Cara
I got the Cloth and
instructions yesterday. I cant begin to tell you how totally blessed I
felt. When I got this present at night when I opened my mail box it made
me forget all my trials and felt so much at peace.
~Elizabeth (India)
A marriage was
restored after having used the prayer cloth.
~Maureen
I received the prayer
cloth in yesterday’s mail and thank you so very much. My daughter said
the prayers and held the cloth and had an awesome dream of the Lord.
~Christa
I have been letting
people borrow my prayer cloth and there have been many miracles.
~Sister
Mary Poncilia
My friend and
her daughter were stopped at a red light and rear-ended at 35 mph and not hurt at all. They both had the prayer cloths in their purse. Two
weeks prior, her daughter’s purse (with the cloth in it) was taken by an
elderly couple while she was being distracted. She found the purse
abandoned and totally untouched!
My friend’s
daughter has MS and suddenly went blind in both eyes. She has been
putting the prayer cloth over her eyes with much prayer and she is
slowly beginning to see again! Thanks be to God!
~Marge
I am writing
to let you know that I multiplied the praying cloth you sent to me. One
of them was given to a woman, young mother of kids who was in coma and
doctors were sure she would never wake up or would be paralyzed or her
brain would be damaged as she stayed in that horrible state for some
time. They put that cloth in her pillow case and the day after that she
started to wake up, then whenever she moved her head she just tended to
put it exactly on the praying cloth. She is perfect now, all the brain swolleness disappeared. She can speak now and is all ok.
~Casha (Poland)
This weekend
I was in charge of the vigil room at a LSS, my prayer group was
running. I was inspired to take out the prayer cloth and use on
everyone that came in for prayer. There were many reactions, most felt
heat, some were slain in the spirit as soon as I touched there heads
with the cloth!
~Geri
I sent for a
cloth for my friend’s father who was dying. My friend was worried about
the state of his soul. I was hesitant to send the cloth as I was not
sure how it would be received. My friend and her family prayed with the
cloth and to make a long story short, her father had a deathbed
conversion!
~Pam
One day after
Mass a lady asked to borrow a cloth for her niece who had been hospitalized
for 4 months with many complications and little hope of recovery. Since I
did not have an original, I explained to her about the ones Marge made and
offered it to her. We continued to talk and then she told me that when I
handed her the cloth that she felt a power go right through her body. She
said it was a good feeling, a kind of strength she didn’t normally have, and
was on the verge of tears. She later told me that she took the cloth to the
hospital and prayed as her niece held it. The next day her niece said that
she was able to eat solid food for the first time in 4 months. Soon
after, her niece was transferred to a rehabilitation unit to learn to walk
again! Praise God!
~June Klins
A young girl who
was in a coma for nearly a month, who had been given little hope and was
predicted by the physicians to have severe brain damage if she did survive.
She came out of the coma after having been prayed for with the cloth,
without any brain damage whatsoever.
~Cindy
My niece had 3
heart attacks at age 25 which resulted in triple bypass and it has been a
rocky road since then. She had another heart attack at age 31 and a stroke
in September, 2006. She is now 41. She has 17% of her heart functioning, an
enlarged heart, 2 100% blocked arteries, a mitral valve that is leaking,
rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, scledroderma, lupus, scoliosis,
osteoporosis, polymyositis, and dry gangrene because there is very little
blood flow to her feet and hands. Just recently a portion of the middle
finger fell off as a result of gangrene. All of this is just the tip of the
iceberg for her. On Feb. 4, 2007 she had 6 cardiac v-fib arithmia attacks
and had to be rushed to a local hospital. The local hospital rushed her to
the renowned Cleveland Clinic where she had been hospitalized since August,
2006. She had not been home a full month since August. A dear friend of mine
knows completely of my niece’s situation and was so kind to give me a
healing prayer cloth to pray for her, and so I started using the cloth and
prayer immediately. On Feb. 6, she had surgery. The surgeon said the
surgery went very well, but could not understand how she survived the
previous Sunday. He said it is almost humanly impossible to survive one of
those attacks let alone six attacks. I knew it was the healing prayer
cloth after listening to what the surgeon told us.
~Lucy
The mass in my
husband’s lung was the size of 2 plums (as the dr. described it) and after
the CAT scan it was so small it was difficult to measure it. I was putting
the prayer cloth on him and I’m sure God heard all of our prayers.
~Ann

when He put the cloth, there....and never took it off. 'Finally, Janie

cloth from his leg, and lo and behold, his wound was heal, and brought
back

and such happiness has brought the goodness of David and Janie, and they

~Yolanda
Thanks for the
prayer cloth you sent to my sister for my brother-in-law. He had his
surgery. They had to take part of his lung out. The doctor told him he
wouldn’t start to heal for 5 days. The doctor checked him the first day
and said the tissue was growing back the first day!! This doesn’t happen!
~Mary
Dorothy is her
name and her husband had a miracle with the prayer cloth last week. He had
been praying with it over his heart every day since the doctor told him he
had a blockage which a nuclear stress test revealed. When he had the heart
catheterization a week later the doctor found no blockage and told him he
didn’t understand this and couldn’t explain what happened to him. We
know that it was a miracle!! Praise God for He is good!!!
~Louise
A young man in
Florida had been in a motorcycle accident and was near death. A lady who had
been given a prayer cloth that was touched to an original Medjugorje cloth
prayed over him with it. As she was praying, she was inspired to ask if he
had ever been baptized. He was conscious enough to say he had not been
baptized, but would like to be. He died immediately after he was baptized.
Did he receive a healing? The world would say no. However, we know that he
got the best healing possible – a spiritual healing – a free ticket to
Heaven!!! He hit the jackpot – this is what it is all about!!!
~Marge
After praying
with the cloth my son and grandson have begun to go to Mass again.
~Elaine
Sometimes we
don't see any miracle, sometimes we are full of pride and sometimes we want
God to do our will and not His Will. I asked you the
sacred cloth for a special person. When my friend (an untired prayer of 93
years old) and I went to his house, my friend praid with the cloth that she
placed over his stomach. Then my friend told me that when she was praying
with the cloth over the stomach of this person she felt that something were
moving inside the stomach. A very strange feeling. During the following days
my friend was calling by phone if there were any positive change. After 9
days this person passed away. One month later his wife were explaining me
what happened the last minutes of his husband. He was talking to somebody.
He said: You are so beautiful...I want to go with you.. let's go, right
now...and he died. She said that he was smiling and very happy. After this I
saw the MIRACLE: The sacred cloth was the first step of the "cleaning
process" of this person. He received the sacraments during those days and
then he was ready to go with Our Mother, the Queen of Peace.
~Susy (Panama)
I have
experienced a miracle!!!! I am proof that the cloth works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please tell your cousin I have experienced a miracle. All was well today
with the results on the margins…Had bloodwork drawn today to make sure that
is ok and will have chest Xray next week. Thanks for all your love, prayers
and concern. The prayers made all the difference in the world.
~Mary
My boss was
diagnosed with melanoma and underwent successful surgery. He had used the
cloth prior to the surgery.
~Cindy
I wanted to tell
you how your prayers and the healing cloth are helping my sons, Connor (9)
and Kyle (11). Connor has auditory processing disorder which was
preventing him from learning to read. He is now reading for the first
time. Certainly not at grade level, but he is actually reading!! Second,
he also has sensory integration disorder. He cannot tolerate crunchy food
and especially cannot tolerate things in his mouth like a toothbrush. But
unbelievably, he is actually brushing his own teeth without gagging. I used
to have to brush them while he coughed and gagged. This is something that
the therapists said would be years away from happening with many hundreds of
hours of therapy to fix. We still have a long road with the crunchy foods
etc, but this is a big accomplishment for him and a miracle. And he has been
out of therapy for 9 months because of the finances. So I am so relieved
for him.
Kyle has
developmental speech apraxia and expressive language disorder. Sounding out
words to learn the spelling and reading has always been a huge struggle. In
fact many speech therapists told me he would have to memorize the spelling
of words and would never be able to sound out words because of the
phonological awareness delay (severe) he has. However, Kyle is now sounding
out words and learning how to spell. I am so happy for him. He is so happy
that he is not struggling with words every day.
~Elaine
These were all
related to me verbally: A cloth was rubbed on the arm of a man who had a
stroke and he suffered no paralysis afterwards. A man returned to Mass after
an absence of many years. A woman who had bladder cancer prayed with it and
the next time she went for testing the cancer was gone. A lady who prayed
with one was lifted from a deep depression. A lady who was unable to walk
for 6 months was able to take some steps after having prayed with a cloth. A
pregnant woman who was told there was something wrong with her baby’s
stomach used it before traveling over 100 miles to a specialist, and found
there was nothing wrong at all.
~June Klins
I have a miracle
to relate. A lady at my mother's church in Geneva, OH, tripped in a puddle
in her driveway on Dec. 23 on her way to choir practice. She had to use
her cell phone to call 911 to come and take her to the hospital. She had
torn several ligaments in her left ankle and was in terrible pain. She had
forgotten I had given her a prayer cloth earlier that month. Late when her
friend reminded her she had to get it from her car. She was reading the
info I had included in the envelope and hadn't even placed the cloth on her
ankle yet. She said it was still in the plastic baggie. Well her pain
disappeared immediately and she was able to walk with hardly a limp. She
had expected to wait several months for the ligaments to heal. She
definitely calls this a miracle and her name is Jane.
~Louise
I gave the prayer
cloth that I received to my granddaughter and she used it for a friend who
had cancer. He had two cancerous tumors removed and a kidney. He is
recovering nicely. They will be going to his prom this Friday!
~Edith
I fell and
thought I broke some ribs and a rotator cuff (I am in the medical
profession). I crawled into the house and got into bed, but then crawled out
to get my prayer cloth and rosary. I was in TERRIBLE PAIN. As soon as I
finished praying the rosary as I held the cloth, the pain went away
INSTANTLY. I have complete faith in the blessings of this cloth.
Virginia
You would not
believe how many miracles there have been with the cloth you gave me. One
was that a person had a gaping wound that would not heal. I prayed with the
cloth and gradually it got smaller each day and by the 7th day it
was completely healed!
~Alanna
I wanted to tell
you another way the prayer cloth you sent me has touched someone's life. A
good friend of mine had breast cancer in Dec.1999. She got treated and just
recently a new cancer was found in the other breast. The doctors said she
had to have a total mastectomy to avoid any more cancer. they said they
were not sure if it had spread to the lymph nodes. I lent her our prayer
cloth. Her and her family prayed with it. She slept with it on her breast
the night before the surgery. Yesterday when she had her surgery the
surgeon said the lymph nodes were "clear" of any cancer. She cried with
tears of joy and thanks to God.
~Elaine
I have a 101
year-old mother and yesterday she suddenly got a sharp (very strong) pain in
her left arm (from her shoulder down to her hand). Right away I placed the
cloth on her shoulder and little by little the pain went away.
~Inez
I just want to
tell you about my miracle this weekend. I've had a horrible headache all
week....like nothing ever in my life. Saturday was the worst - shooting
pains that made it hard for me to open my eyes or move...was getting
scared. I put on a hoodie sweatshirt and put one of our original prayer
cloths on my head under it for the afternoon, slept and prayed a Rosary.
Pain is ALL GONE!!!!! Nothing! We definitely think it was miraculous :)
Our Lady is wonderful!
~Lauren
I sent a package
of four of them (the ones I made) to a dear friend. When my friend received
the package, she said that before she even opened it, the Divine Power of
God was so terrific that it went through her body. What a gift and blessing
from our God!
~Marge
The sacred cloth
brings Medjugorje peace to me. I was able to sleep without taking a pill at
night. Hope I can borrow the sacred cloth again.
~Evelyn
The one you sent
for me is so powerfull, I can't explain how I felt when I received until
now. Thank you so much.
~Kindohe
The prayer cloth
was loaned to a friend of ours whose 1st grandson was told by Drs that he
would live for about three months after birth. Today (Feb. 2, 2007), the
cloth is still with her and her grandson is almost 5 months old. We feel Our
Lady is helping.
~John (Malaysia)
I had been
suffering from suspected appendicitis and after praying holding the cloth in
my hands, after only 1 week, the pain left me completely.
~Rosemarie
(Australia)
I prayed with
George Sr. with the cloth and read the prayer attached. His test this month
was better than ever.
~Marleen
I have had some
relief from my shoulder injury. Another friend has got back some use of her
knee.
~Terry (Canada)
I have multiplied
the cloth and really it has been a medicine for the body and the spirit of
the sick.
Susy (Panama)
I was really ill
with the dry heaves all day Thursday besides all my other health problems,
and thought I would not be able to go to First Friday Mass. I slept with the
cloth and when I woke up I was fine. Not only could I go to Mass, but I was
also able to go to an hour of adoration at the Adoration chapel.
~Millie
My niece had you
send me a prayer cloth to keep as a Christmas gift. Thank you. I was so
happy to receive it. My daughter who lives in Florida was here when it
arrived. She touched the cloth and said she felt a warm feeling through her
body.
~Anna Mae
I want to thank
you again for the wonderful prayer cloth. I believe it has touched my family
in the way that God wanted it to. I feel blessed to have had it and
especially during this time of trial.
~Barb
I was in a deep
depression and had to take a medical leave of absence from my job. The cloth
really helped bring me back to the sacraments and love of Our Lady I used to
have. It also helped me with a big decision about my job situation. I feel
free again.
~Sue.
Thank you for
sending me a prayer cloth. I keep it folded under my pillow. I am a bad
sleeper and since the cloth with my prayer “talks” with Jesus, I sleep
well.
~Fran
I took the sacred
cloth out (of the bag) and blessed myself and smelled roses.
~Marilyn
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to pray with the cloth. The Lord
spoke very clearly to me and I was in a very deep peaceful place as I held
the cloth in prayer. Maggie
(She later related that her hands got hot and so did the cloths as she was
making more from the original.)
Whatever has been going around has caught up with me, just not feeling well
and I took a nap before with the prayer cloth and woke up feeling much
better, thank you again for sharing that with me I really am happy to have
one.
~Jason
My
big miracle was that a priest in my diocese who does not promote Medjugorje
at all spent about a half hour to an hour blessing the cloths I made. He did
each one individually. May
I request the sacred cloth in the future to make more prayer cloths?
~Audra
I want to tell
you I received a beautiful letter from my niece that I had wanted the prayer
cloth for. I will have to get her permission, but when I do you need to read
it too! I cried!! She is doing real good and stopped her meds & treatments.
~Gloria
My mother-in-law
and I reconciled after not talking for 15 years when I prayed over her with
the cloth for her cancer.
~Ana
I received a
tremendous amount of peace every time I pray with the cloth. Praise God!
~Theresa
Thank you for the
loan of the cloth. It gave me great comfort and tears. I felt close to Jesus
when I received it so promptly as though He told me everything will go well.
~Mary
I felt so much
comfort when I said my prayers with the cloth. Can I borrow it again some
day?
~Ernestine
I used the prayer
cloth you sent me last night at our meeting. We prayed for each ones needs
while they held the cloth and it was very very powerful. One lady has been
troubled with a frozen shoulder, and we placed the cloth right on the area.
She definitely had more mobility after the prayer was done.
~Gayle
It brought me
closer to Our Lord, and also gave me an awareness how much He truly loves
us…I went from house to house. I wanted everyone to touch a part of Heaven,
and if they didn’t have the faith to understand or believe, I asked for
them…I made sure to them it was not a magical cloth, but a sacred sign…It
was a spiritual week’s journey for me and brought me back to Medjugorje.
~June
Thank you for
lending me the cloth. It has been an inspiration to me.
~Geraldine
I have felt
spiritually at peace as never before.
~Jeanne
The cloth came to
us during a difficult time. It brought us comfort and peace.
~Mary
Thank you very
much for sending me the prayer cloth. It came at the right time. I was going
through some tests when the cloth arrived. I prayed that I would be all
right and that it would not be cancerous. Glory to God I got good news
today. It’s not cancerous.
~Regina
I felt heat on my
lap as I made them and piled them on my lap. Then I put them to my face and
also felt heat.
~Yvonne.
Thank you for the
prayer cloth that I received yesterday. I took it to our rosary group last
night, and it was placed on the back of a man with severe back pain during
recitation of the rosary. He said he experienced "heat".
~Alice
Thank you so much
for giving us this blessed experience. It is very hard to send the cloth
back as it gives me such joy and closeness to God.
~Polly
Thank you so much
for the prayer cloth. The severe pain in my right leg is almost completely
gone. I praise and thank God for this renewed strength. Diane
I fell and
thought I broke my foot and would need surgery. I remembered that I had the
prayer cloth so I prayed with it. I did not need surgery at all.
Ginny.
My numbers coming
back from tests on my liver were not good. I put the prayer cloth on my
stomach area and the next time I got tested the numbers were normal.
~Mrs.
Rose
Thanks again for
the prayer cloth. My husband got the results of PET scan and cancer is not
present any where else in his body. Thank God!!
~Ann
Thank you for
letting me borrow the prayer cloth. It touched many hearts. My Mom lives in
a senior apt. complex and she asked if I could bring the sacred cloth there
and many people from the apartments showed up, Catholic and non-Catholics
alike. It brought such happiness to my heart to see how interested they were
in Medjugorje.
~Kathy
Thank you for the
prayer handerkerchief. It makes me feel better.
~Lois
I cannot thank
you enough for the use of your Medjugorje prayer cloth. I have seen the very
fingerprint of God all day and every day since I first held it…This weekend
I had a blessed and very spiritual 2 ½ days, washing, ironing, making and
praying…186 cloths. I have been so blessed!!! I praise God all day long for
being a laborer.
~Karen
One interesting
story came from a reader who told us that she received a cloth to pray with
while she was hospitalized. She wanted to share it with her roommate in the
hospital but was unable to get out of bed to do this. The next day the
roommate came to her bed to pray with her with a cloth that she had received
from us too - sent to two different people, who were friends of the
patients. She wrote, “We prayed on both cloths! Thanks be to God!” She
added, “What are the odds of two friends sending for prayer cloths for
friends in the same room in the same huge hospital (UPMC) with the same name
(both were called ‘Bobby.’)?”
~June Klins
One of my
favorite recent testimonies involves a lady who told me that all of her life
she has had dental problems.
She had been told
by her dentist that at her next appointment a crumbling tooth was going to
have to be capped. When she received the cloth, she held the cloth up to her
cheek and prayed. She was pleasantly surprised at the next visit that not
only did the tooth become strong and not need a cap, but that for probably
the first time in her life, she could say, “Look, Ma, no cavities!”

A lady suffered a
sinus infection that resulted in what doctors felt was a permanent loss of
her senses of taste and smell. She touched a prayer cloth to her face and
smelled roses! Her sense of smell returned and so did her sense of taste!
~(sharing from “Pilgrim’s Peaceletter”)
A man named Mike
went to Medjugorje in October of 2006 and I asked him to get me some more
prayer cloths. I did not tell him how many but he felt inspired to get me
100.(He bought 4 packages of 25 each.) He wiped the tears with each one
individually, had them blessed and gave them to a lady in my city who was on
his pilgrimage. She misunderstood and thought he had 200 of them for me, so
she gave three of them away to people who asked her for them. When I went to
her house to pick them up, we counted them and there were 98. There really
should have been 97. We counted them twice, maybe even 3 times. A few days
later I counted them at my house and there were 100!!! I counted them
several times and got 100 every time. Since I have been giving them away,
and I keep a record of that, I always add the number I have given and the
number left and it always adds up to 100!
~June Klins
The story I saw
in the newsletter about the woman with bad teeth who prayed with the healing
cloth inspired me. Since I came down with auto immune thyroid disease, my
teeth have needed root canals, crowns etc and a year ago I had 18 cavities.
The dentist fixed six, did two crowns, and then told me I had ten cavities
left. However, we ran out of money and I said I would be back in 2007. I
prayed to have less than 10 more cavities to fix. I was praying with the
prayer cloth about my teeth. Well, yesterday, I went to the dentist and
only had five cavities. So my prayers have been answered. It was funny
watching the dentist look at my x-rays and back at his notes from
December. Then he would look at my teeth again. He had even told me I was
going to need a third crown (he did two last year). But not now.
~Elaine
I have a sister that had
MS, visited the Shrine to St. Pio and has always had a special devotion to
the Blessed Mother; doctors claimed - after her pilgrimage - that she was
somehow free of MS we
know that God willed her to be free of her MS); anyway it left her
resistance low, and she caught Pneumonia -the day before I received the
prayer cloth. I rushed to her, she was very ill - high fever, limp and
white as a sheet, she held the cloth to her chest and prayed with such
faith, as I read the prayer to her. She awoke the next morning with only
minor sinus problems. Praise the Lord!
~JoAnne
Thanks for the
prayer cloth. The staph infection which persisted through 3 courses of
antibiotics (about 6 weeks) cleared up after 9 days of prayer (a novena)
with the prayer cloth.
My friend and I
were making the cloths. After I touched the ones we made to the original I
handed them to my friend (who is not Catholic) to put in plastic bags. She
told me that she could feel a power coming from them.
~Joann
I got a phone
call today from a lady who is claiming a miracle of her knee problems of 5
years, and a candidate for a knee reconstruction from pain in the knee. I
eventually did make some prayer cloths from the original that was sent to
me. The lady I gave it to has breast cancer, why I gave it to her, not
Catholic but a seek from India. She told me the pain was so bad she limped
around but is no more limping I haven’t seen her and did not see her before
but do know she is very sick, She is claiming it a miracle.

I am suffering
from a lot of ill-health. I happened to borrow the Prayer cloth (not
original ) and kept it close to the affected part of my body and prayed with
faith...and God heard my prayers. Susan (Sultanate of Oman)
I had to write to
let you know what the Lord has done using the prayer cloth. My husband and
I were trying to adopt a little boy. The entire process had taken close to
3 years. I ordered a prayer cloth and placed my son’s picture on it and
asked God for Divine help. I am happy to report after all this time, we made
the pick-up trip to Guatemala for our son on January5, 2007. I wrote and
asked for the prayer cloth once again a few weeks ago, as my father who has
mestastatic cancer involving the liver is in desperate need of Divine
intervention. This is the second time I have used the prayer cloth on him.
He placed it on his stomach and we prayed with him. It is truly amazing,
but his CT scan last week revealed that the tumors are dying! I truly
believe in the power of prayer, but we must believe and have faith before we
even begin to pray.
~Marta
My grandson had an accident involving a golf
cart. He is only 5 years old, fell off of the golf cart and was run over by
the back wheels. He had no broken bones, but his legs were cut up badly.
He had a bad infection that was starting to form on his knee. I prayed for
him touching the top of his thigh (over his clothing), with the original
prayer cloth. He touched the prayer cloth and prayed in his own little
words to Jesus and asked Jesus to help his leg get better. Well, last night
when the bandages were removed for the wound to be cleaned, it was no longer
infected and almost healed. He was not on antibiotics, so I knew
immediately when my son called me to tell me the good news, that it was the
prayer cloth and the Tears of Christ that healed his leg. You see, it was
just that very day, before he had been prayed over, that his leg was at its
worst and could never have gotten better on it's own, or healed that
quickly! Praise our Lord, Jesus Christ.
~JoAnne
My friend has been very ill and so I sent for
the prayer cloth for her. The last time I talked to her she said it was
really comforting her and that she carries it around like “Linus” with his
blanket. And the best thing is that her husband, who was not a believer, was
starting to believe.
~Carol
I never discuss my health problems with anyone,
but I ended up telling a man everything. Then he asked how I could be at
such peace with my situation. I then took the Medjugorje prayer cloth out
of my purse and showed it to him. He asked if he could open it and say a
prayer. As soon as he touched it and began to pray, he started to cry. He
told me that he is never moved to tears and could not understand what was
happening. Then he felt a warm sensation throughout his body. I told him
that it was a sign that Christ was listening to him and was there for him
even though he was feeling all alone. He asked me how I knew that he was
feeling that way. I told him that I just felt like it was the right answer
for him. He said that lately he was leaving Mass feeling empty. He said
that this was just the sign that he was praying for. What? Another miracle
from Jesus' precious Tears!
