An amazing thing happened today

An amazing little thing happened today at St Josephs were i go to on a Tuesday morning to teach a little exercise class and treat some of the residents.

Just as were about to begin,a new lady came in, she was 93 years of age,she said i don't know why i have come along, to which i replied
"Welcome to to the poetry class"
my sense of humour is not every ones liking.

We began our little exercise class and she soon realised poetry was not on the agenda,but she took to it and eased gently along.

I began to tell the little group about my new found relic i had sent off for,when the new lady,said she was a follower of Padre Pia and often prayed to him,only she had felt depressed since she had been new to the home and unsettled.

To which another one the ladies said that she had a relic form his robe, just to let you know Padre Pia was the first stigmatized priest in the history of Church.

Anyway,the new lady was captivated and lit up as she heard of a relic from his robe.

we finished the class and i decided to see if i could borrow the relic and give it to the new lady to help her with her depression. I managed to borrow it and proceeded to the new ladies room. I sat down and told her i have something for you,she held her hand out and i placed the relic,she was overjoyed and held it as she prayed.

It was fantastic to see that it meant so much to her, i said this will help you along and ease your depression.

Then what happened next was amazing,the door opened and another elderly lady walked in,holding a little photo and said to her, did you know Jean ?....to which the new lady replied yes, "she was my sister".

"yes" she said,i lived next to her in Ireland and she was my best friend i heard that you were here and i have come to see you,if there is anything you want from this day on, i will get it for you.I hope that from this day on we will be great friends.

Then she showed the photo of her sister to her and her face lit up,like two long lost sisters meeting for the first time,it was amazing.

I said to her, that's amazing i have just given her this relic of Padre Pio, to which she lit up and said that she had one also and was a devotee of his,and had prayed to him all her life for miracles..

I could not have made it up, they connected in a way that was quite beautiful.

I think i witnessed an act of God,an answer to her prayer that was played out with me passing on a relic of a saint and then the coming together of synchronises that were amazing.

I knew that she would be lifted and had discovered a new friend,it was the timing as much as anything, reminded me of a saying i love "Coincidence is Gods way of remaining anonymous"

Made me smile.
