Dar aceast\u0103 minune se \u00eent\u00e2mpl\u0103 \u015fi \u00een via\u0163a cea trupeasc\u0103, c\u00e2nd tr\u0103im o via\u0163\u0103 aprins\u0103 \u015fi cuprins\u0103 de credin\u0163\u0103 tare \u015fi \u00eencredere \u00een M\u00e2ntuitorul. Iat\u0103, spre pild\u0103, ce istorise\u015fte un medic de la Bucure\u015fti \u00eentr-o revist\u0103:
\n\u201eDe dou\u0103 luni z\u0103cea \u00een spitalul nostru o femeie bolnav\u0103, venit\u0103 pentru opera\u0163ie. S\u0103rmana! Era o jale… S\u0103 ne apropiem cu cu\u0163itele noastre de ea, nici vorb\u0103 nu era… Era at\u00e2t de slab\u0103, c\u0103 ar fi adormit pe veci \u00een decursul opera\u0163iei… Pe urm\u0103, boala i se \u00eenr\u0103ut\u0103\u0163i… nu putea st\u00e2nca \u015fi, pe urm\u0103, ca pup\u0103z\u0103 pe colac, se ivi \u015fi oftica (tuberculoza). Era \u00een pragul unei mor\u0163i sigure \u015fi grabnice. Dar avea ceva aceast\u0103 femeie ce ne atr\u0103gea \u015fi ne umplea de uimire. Era ve\u015fnic voioas\u0103 \u015fi vorbea at\u00e2ta c\u0103ldur\u0103 de Dumnezeu \u015fi de Iisus Hristos, \u00eenc\u00e2t n-am mai auzit astfel vorbindu-se. Niciodat\u0103 n-am auzita v\u0103ic\u0103rindu-se, cu toate c\u0103 avea pentru ce. Am \u00eentrebat-o odat\u0103 de ce-i at\u00e2t de crud cu ea Dumnezeu \u00een care crede a\u015fa de mult. \u015ei mi-a r\u0103spuns cu at\u00e2ta bun\u0103tate, \u00eenc\u00e2t am r\u0103mas uimit. \u015ei, c\u00e2nd m-a l\u0103murit, dup\u0103 Scripturi, c\u0103 \u00abDomnul a ales vasele cele slabe, s\u0103 le fac\u0103 de ocar\u0103 pe cele tari\u00bb, am r\u0103mas ru\u015finat. \u00ab\u015ecoala vie\u0163ii adev\u0103rate \u2013 zicea femeia \u2013 \u00een necazuri de acestea se \u00eenva\u0163\u0103… Asta-i crucea pe care Iisus Hristos mi-a dat-o s\u0103 o port, ca s\u0103 fiu tu El \u00een ne\u00ac\u00eencetat\u0103 leg\u0103tur\u0103 sufleteasc\u0103\u00bb…
\nPe urm\u0103, boala femeii tot mat grea f\u0103c\u00e2ndu-se, ne \u00een\u0163eleser\u0103m cu doctorul \u015fef s\u0103-i d\u0103m drumul acas\u0103, s\u0103 moar\u0103 \u00eentre cunoscu\u0163ii ei. Ne-am desp\u0103r\u0163it ca pentru totdeauna. C\u00e2nd colo, dup\u0103 trei luni, ce s\u0103-\u0163i vad\u0103 ochii? Femeia vine \u015fi ne cerceteaz\u0103 \u015fi era s\u0103n\u0103toas\u0103 tun. Am \u00eentrebat-o ce a f\u0103cut, unde s-a lecuit; \u015fi ne-a r\u0103spuns c\u0103 a t\u0103m\u0103duit-o Doctorul ei cei mare, care este Iisus Hristos…
\nHot\u0103r\u00e2t lucru \u2013 zice, de \u00eencheiere, medicul \u2013 noi, \u00eenv\u0103\u0163a\u0163ii, avem multe de \u00eenv\u0103\u0163at de la cei care tr\u0103iesc \u00eentr-adev\u0103r Evanghelia. Oare n-ar fi bine s\u0103 punem toat\u0103 \u015ftiin\u0163a noastr\u0103 la picioarele lui Hristos a\u015fa cum a f\u0103cut Pavel?\u201d…
