1. MY HEAVY BURDEN LIFTED UP & I AM SET FREE

In this retreat I forgave my Dad after 30 years, I never saw my dad from the time I was very small & I hated him because he left my mum &
me, he abandoned us, I hated him so much that I did not want to forgive him even after his death, but during the Confession the Priest help
me open up & Confess my sins & I finally forgave my Dad, I felt so relaxed after confession, felt overwhelmed, happy and light, I felt a huge
burden left me,
I experienced tremendous Inner Peace, experienced silence is so peaceful & I learnt I can survive without a mobile for 3 days.
Praise the LORD

2. HOPELESS SITUATION TURNED AROUND.

I was not a Catholic, deeply superstitious, negative and filled with fears. I lacked confidence
and carried so many uncertainties in life. But a few years ago, the Lord touched my heart and ever since, my life has transformed in ways I
could never imagine. I have been blessed in countless ways, but above all, I have found the unshakable peace of our Lord in every storm of
life.
We made a commitment to attend at least two retreats every year. We had enrolled for one elsewhere, but it did not get through. Then,
about a month ago, we came to know about the JEH retreat.
For the past seven months, we had been praying diligently for a very specific petition – something that seemed impossible, with absolutely
no hope of change. We could not understand why nothing was moving. But just before we enrolled for this retreat, I was suddenly inspired
to tell my husband, “Before we go for the next retreat, our prayer will be answered.” I completely forgot about it after that.
Then, on the evening of 7th August (our retreat days were 8-10th Aug), in the most unexpected way, our hopeless situation turned
around—completely and miraculously. We still cannot understand how it happened, but we know it was the hand of the Lord.
Through this, the Lord has shown us that when we say “Yes” to Him, He will do what is best for us—in His perfect time and His perfect way.
PRAISE THE LORD!

3.PEACE RESTORED BEYOND MEASURE

I was in a relationship for 7 months, I have been heard bad for my self with this I was disturbed a lot and my family was also in bad time.
Because of me, I could not forgive myself, as I prayed to God for forgiveness, God heard my prayer on the first day where through the
Blessed Sacrament I was healed & experienced forgiveness, I fell down on the ground as I was going back in room where one of the music
ministry girl said she had vision said to me God said to leave the relationship with him as my heart cries be with me in Christ and you
will get a better one I was blessed with the answer.
Praise the lord

4. BAD EYE HEALED

Every Session by various speakers was exceptional, Content of the sessions were inspiring, I am feeling like a new person.
I had a bad left eye for a long time & my daughter wanted me to see a specialist, I kept putting it off as I was basically scared, I put my
daughter off by saying let me go for the healing retreat, I kept praying to Jesus to heal my eye, on Saturday during the healing service I
suddenly felt I could see perfectly, I went to my room later & checked my eyesight and it is really & truly healed. All praise to Jesus.

5. TRULY BLESSED AT THE JEHR.

I came with a very heavy heart .. emotionally & mentally broken since Jan this year due to some family
problem. At the inner healing session, I forgave someone I didn’t even realise I was habouring ill feelings against since forever
and I was able let go & surrender to the Lord all that was weighing me down.
I came with alot of physical issues that were awaiting a confirmed diagnosis after having done the required tests. Praise the Lord .. during
one of the prayer sessions .. my right knee was healed (but the cynic in me couldnt believe until I reached home). The swelling & pain in
my fingers & hands have reduced as well .. I know my other issues will be healed soon as well.
My prayer was for the strength & courage to accept the diagnosis gracefully but Our Lord is healing me completely.
I sincerely Thank the Entire JEHR team for this wonderful retreat.

6. SEVERE RASHES HEALED

For the past eight years, I had been suffering from severe rashes on my thighs. I was taken to many doctors but there was little to no
change at all. I was given so many creams to apply at various time of the day and medicines to be taken. I was really tired of this rash and
feeling very low about this. I used to think why am I suffering so much.
Then, I attended the JEHR to have a personal encounter with the Lord. During the time of adoration, I completely surrendered my pain and
sufferings to the Lord trusting Him to take control of my life. As I prayed, I felt His peace and love surrounding me.
Now, I am so grateful to share that I feel much better. I believe this is the healing touch of God, and I give all glory and Thanks to the Lord
my master and creator.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 states “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”
