Over the last day or two I've had a cold coming on. Up till this morning, it was no more than a slightly runny nose. When I woke up today, however, my head felt heavy; I had a head cold. I went upstairs to wash last night's dishes. Before starting I said a quick, almost perfunctory prayer for healing. I then started saying the Rosary and doing the washing.
Within a minute or two the head cold lifted. The cold is still with me but the worst of it has gone.
At the point at which the head cold lifted I hadn't taken any medication. I look upon what happened as Our Lady answering a very poor (sinner's) prayer. By-and-by, I had been thinking about going to confession today. Had the head cold stayed that wouldn't have happened. Now that it has gone, however, I am looking forward to setting out for some spiritual healing.
Very few of my prayers tend to be answered so quickly. I can't really remember one that was (I should probably keep a record). I have to admit I am rather taken aback by what happened but also very grateful.
