At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Thursday 24/9/2009)
Day 15 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 7
Mom sat beside You and watched You sleep.
You were still very much in Snooze Land. She called your name several times and told You it was time to get up. You did not stir one bit.
Your mother ignored the lack of response and carried on a normal conversation with You. She was communicating with You on a different level. Mom had to believe that You could somehow hear her, your sub-conscious at least, otherwise she would be overly distraught by the mere fact that You were not responding.
After what seemed like a long while, You finally opened your eyes.
You said sleepily, "I - heard - a - noise ..."
Your unexpected response was a huge relief to Mom.
She chided with a chuckle,
"That's not noise. That was Mom talking to You."
Stretching yourself, You raised your eye brows and let out a lazy sigh, "Ohhhhh ..."
Mom was almost skipping to the dining hall with sheer happiness, to get your breakfast.
Oh, thank God, he got up, she thought happily.
Thank God, thank God, thank God ...
Walking back to the room with a tray in her hands, she sent a telepathic message of triumph that radiated out into the universe :
"When God is for me, nothing can be against me."
