As shown in previous blog posts where the girls and I visited a collection of relics called Treasures of the Church, A small collection of relics came to Immaculate Conception today. The main Saint spoken of and Main first class Relic displayed was that of saint charbel. He was a Lebanese monk that lived as a Hermit for most of his life, and after his death has more miracles associated with him than any other Saint. Each year the Saints bones are immersed in pure olive oil and the oil is preserved and vials for all the faithful to use hoping for a healing miracle. The most amazing miracle associated with this oil happened in Lebanon in the early 2000s. A lady suffering with hypoplasia was anointed with the healing oil, and had a dream of one monk operating on her and one supporting her back. When she woke up she had two surgical scars on her neck and was completely healed!
here is the first class relic of St Theresa of avila, one of the most famous Catholic mystics. The statue on the right is my own statue that I made a third class Relic it is a statue of her main Vision showing her in ecstasy in heaven.
Finally one of my favorite saints, St therese of Liseux who i am named after, I knelt down in veneration of this particular Relic and said and thanked her for her little way.
More St relics from this exhibition can be found in my spiritual journal.
After visiting this Relic exhibition and getting a vial of the healing oil, I drove down to the hospital in Easley where Leia's grandfather-in-law, Tom, lay sick with major lung issues. I anointed his chest with the healing oil and he went home the next day. Not a miracle necessarily, but he cried when I anointed him with the Holy oil. It was beautiful!
