But don’t be afraid to also pray, to ask for intercession, to believe that healing might involve both material and spiritual dimensions.

Medicine works.

Medications heal.

Surgical interventions save lives.

But sometimes, not always, but sometimes, medical treatment is enhanced by spiritual intercession.

Sometimes the prayers your doctor dismisses as superstition are accessing healing forces that complement the medications he prescribes.

And to those who have been praying faithfully for years, like my wife Elena prayed for me without seeing results.

Don’t give up.

Elena prayed for 23 years before her prayers were answered.

God’s timing isn’t our timing, but faithful prayer is never wasted.

It accumulates in ways we can’t see, building toward moments when heaven breaks through and changes everything.

I end this testimony with gratitude to blessed Carlo Acutis, the teenage saint who loved both science and faith, who understood that technology and spirituality weren’t opposites, who showed a rigid materialist doctor that reality is far more mysterious and wonderful than he had ever imagined.

Carlo, thank you for your intercession.

Thank you for not giving up on a stubborn atheist who needed undeniable evidence to shatter his certainty.

Thank you for the 48 hours that changed everything.

And to anyone listening who thinks miracles only happened in ancient times, who believes that supernatural intervention is inconsistent with scientific understanding, who has convinced themselves that faith and reason are incompatible.

I challenge you to remain open, to pay attention to the unexplained.

to document the impossible.

To consider that maybe, just maybe, your instruments are measuring only part of a multi-dimensional reality.

The God who created the physical laws we study in medicine is not constrained by those laws.

The saints who intercede from heaven are not limited by our understanding of what’s possible.

and healing.

True complete healing sometimes requires both medical expertise and spiritual intercession working together.

May blessed Carlo Autis intercede for all of you.

May your hearts both physical and spiritual be healed.

And may you have the courage to see beyond what your instruments can measure to the greater reality that surrounds and sustains us all.

Veritas liberos.
