Christ miraculously heals but we can’t hold on to that.
Our Indian Islampur area’s water is arsenic contaminated. Many poor rural people have various types of cancer mainly due to it. Though government has arranged to supply pure piped water in some places, that is becoming polluted too due to rising level of arsenic. For agriculture purpose much water is pumped out allowing air down that arsenic bearing stones to release arsenic.
In a village 12 kilometers from here a poor family was liver cancer affected. Both parents died from it leaving four orphan children to fend for them. The elder married and separated. Symptoms of liver cancer appeared in next to younger boys. Poor they had no money even for food let alone costly medicines. The free rural hospital has no facility for cancer treatment. In desperation the older one evicted the younger one from house telling than he can’t spend anything on him. He warned that if he comes back he will throw him in the nearby river. As the six year old stunted boy was crying upon the road, a neighbor had pity. He offered to carry him on his cycle to our Islampur free dispensary. He told that christians are kind people. They may give him shelter and treatment.
So in this way Golam Murteza came to our Islampur center and pleaded for shelter in tears. He was accepted and sent to a cancer expert for diagnosis. Doctor told that he can survive at most two months with expensive medicines. Other experts and our experience also confirmed it.
As is our custom in desperate cases, we submitted him to the greatest doctor Jesus. We prayed and told nearby churches to pray for him. They all prayed together on consecutive Sundays. There was a lady healer in Jiaganj London mission. She was healed from terminal illness by Jesus coming down from a cross-picture. Christ commanded her to heal others in his name. Many were healed through her. We also brought him to her to be prayed over.
Christ healed him. He was a very docile sweet nature child loved by all. In his newly admitted school, teachers gave him books and free tuition. He excelled in study. After 6 years he was so grown up that his deformed liver was not noticeable. But due to the influence of Muslims with few Christians around, he couldn’t be brought to Christian faith, though he loved Christ and prayed. Besides he had a little inherited land due to his share. If he had deeper faith in Christ, he wouldn’t have sought that land in poor brothers’ custody. But, when he sought, brothers became alarmed. They say they put a spell on him. It is not improbable as we often see such cases here. If he had fully believed in Christ he would have been protected.
His cancer relapsed. We sent him to metropolitan hospital and attended to him on night and days. People around contributed money for his costly treatment, as my society runs only on my meager resources. Though Catholic church sent me to start this ministry, but instead of helping they misappropriated my property by forged deed.
Eventually doctors gave up and he died. I had tried to get him baptized but he being a minor, I couldn’t override objections of his senior brother. Many people joined in our mourning. I deserved to suffer because I couldn’t bring him or his brothers to Christ’s faith. It is said that failures are pillars of success. May this be our pillar to future success.
He loved Jesus who healed him. He can draw him to himself excusing his insurmountable blocks against faith. I loved him so dearly that my heart pains whenever I remember him, though children’s death was not uncommon in our orphanage. It is because we got him by much prayer and penance. Now nothing but an adult size skeleton lies in his grave. This size is due to Christ’s healing action. But we failed to keep that healing as Christ warned in Mt12-43.
