March 21, 2017: Fr Franklin D'Souza led the lenten retreat at St. Joseph the Worker Church, Bandra (E), Mumbai. At 6:30 p.m. he celebrated mass and preached on forgiveness. After the mass Bro. Henry and Bro. Prakash led the Praise and Worship.
Then Mrs. Shanti shared her testimony together with her twins. She said that due to heavy bleeding doctors told her to terminate the pregnancy. Fr. Franklin gave me courage and told "Life is in the hands of God". I use to call him for prayer almost once in two days. Without knowing me personally he prayed every time when we called him. He gave us hope with the Word of God. In the six and half month my babies were removed due to heavy bleeding. Almost 3 months they were in incubator. Today you see in me what Lord Jesus has done to me. I thank God and my saviour Lord Jesus for this greatest miracle in my life. I told Lord Jesus I will testify in retreats what He has done for me."
After that Fr Franklin spoke on "Those who trust in God will renew their strength". Isaiah 40:31.
Then he led healing adoration. Lord Jesus confirmed his Word with healing and anointing. Retreat came to an end at 9:30 p.m.
